I've had the Ultimate knee for over 6 months (an amputee for a year) and find the adjustable capabilities great.
I do like the capability for stairs and slopes.

Has anyone out there tried the Ultimate knee for running or the C-Leg or what other knee works well.
I understand that they "the manufacturers" say that C-Leg should not be used for running They are worried about the heat build up I think.

I have not had the opportunity to try the C-Leg yet.

I am not talking about track running where one needs the special curved flex foot (at least not yet) but more about casual run around trails or woods (as I use to with two legs). Also what foot works best.
Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks Steve M
