C-Leg isn´t cheap but but it´s super save, against mech Knee´s. My knowledge about the Price(C-Leg 4), for a new one is 20k+ €´s. If you get technical Problems i don´t know if the Knee-Tech can help you, my Tech told me they send it to Ottobock if there is any bigger Problem, they just Change the battery and may clean it ! After 5 years(or 5.000.000 steps) of use i get a new Knee, cause of safety reasons, but in Germany it´s much different(better for amputee´s).
I use a C-leg 4 for a year now. It´s heavier than others(cause of the hydraulic i think) but it´s the max. of safety(cause of the eletronic sensors etc.). For beginners one of the best Knee´s i think !!!
Simply ask, if i can help, i help and others too !!!  |

I understand your worried but getting a cheap and good knee which is used. I as Mech would say, they are well made and if there was no bad handling with they should be good for years ! If you fall and get hurt with, the injurance will say something like you shoot yourself, so it was your false and we don´t pay.
As fresh amputee your stump Needs to get a few new sockets, till it´s in final shape. Have a look at VeryGoodKnee this is Close to Ottobock Performance but much cheaper !
If you Need that Minivan it´s hard to say what is more important, get to doctor, buy Food, travel to friends and Family. Getting back into a good walker is also important, cause bones and muscles are getting bad by only one side stress !
Good luck !!!  |

我在eBay上购买的膝关节处于安全模式，需要用Ottobock重新编程才能走路。我找不到任何人来帮助我编程，所以我再也没有机会使用膝盖。有人可以帮我编程吗？
