Thanks for all that great information brother you are helping lots of peoples with legs problems you been through lots I see in this video hang in there keep doing what you love from brother from Toronto Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks for your update brother. Very helpful. After just a bit over a year in my stik, my prosthetist transitioned me to a vacuum sleeve arrangement. I actually prefer it to the pin-lock system I had at the beginning. Very positive engagement with no getting the sock stuck in the pin mechanism. Also now in a Blatchford extended rage hydraulic K3 ankle which has vastly improved my stability/mobility. Feeling like I may want to try a K3/K4 blade down the road to improve my push-off for hiking. Peace. 😊✌️
Thanks for the great info. It's 2 years since my left BK amputation. For my first prostetic I was given a pin lock socket. Since my residual limb shrunk tremendously in 8 months, I was given a suction type socket. I like the snugness but don't like the reduced knee movement also the stretching pain I get on the top of my knee. With the suction I don't have that pistoning effect. I see you prefer the pin lock system. Does the pistoning effect bother you. I'm due for my third leg 2 months. Looking for feedback from users of the pin lock system so I can make an informed decision. Thank you in advance. Oh yes, where can I get the zippered pants? Way cool.
@arviahouse I don't have any pistoning, but sometimes that can also be affected by limb shape. My socket seems to almost lock onto my stump's shape and my low ply sock thickness. The zippered pants are just regular Levi's that a family friend modified for me. Many dry cleaners can also do simple alterations like this.
You are the best teacher on prosthetic leg thanks and God bless you
