THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING I COULD USE. I FEEL MY PROSTHETIC IS TO STIFF. FOR SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO HAVE AN AMPUTATION, TAKE A LOOK. FOR THOSE OF US ALREADY USING PROSTHETICS, THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD ONE!

" I have an Ottobock flex foot on my prosthetic right now, and it seems like the toes have good stability, but also aloow it to "break" when your are walking. Does that make sense? The new leg that I get this week has the twin toe system that a foot cover goes over. When I was walking in this it was very stiff in the toe area, and I think this will take some getting used to. One thing I did notice with the stiff toes, is that it made me walk with the same stride, and my heel strike felt better too.. I did like that. Not so loosey goosey. Again, did any of that make sense? Anyway, is this what you are refering too here? "
