I have been an amputee for 41 years and have recently been fitted up with an Ottobock 3R92, my previous limb for the last 20 years was a Blachfords Endolite IP, walking on flat and slightly sloped ground is very easy with the Ottobock 3R92, but because of my badly injured and arthritic left knee that is weak, I'm finding it very difficult walking down steep slopes with the 3R92 because when the heel is loaded it remains locked and won't release until the toe is loaded, I'm not able to take long strides going down steep slopes, can anyone that uses the Ottobock 3R92 give me any advise as to how to to walk down steep slopes with this leg.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
