It looks pretty swanky! It's amazing how little I know about prosthetics beyond my own requirements though. I look at that thing and it looks like a space ship compared to my simple rig up.

The only question that occurs to me is "Is it comfortable?" I do hope it is, as over the years I've found that no matter how fancy the 'rig', if it still hurts when you walk, it's not a lot of use!

i find it very comfortable, i wouldnt consider any leg if i didnt find it so

There speaks a man who pays for his legs - one of the disadvantages of life in the UK is that although we have (by and large) a free health service, including prosthetics, when you DO have a problem it takes a long while (months, sometimes longer) to sort out.

Most amputees here seem reasonably happy with their limbs, I'm glad to say. I'm an exception, but have learnt to put up with problems.

Anyway, I'm glad yours work so well.
