All About Prosthetic Feet
Notes Links: Equipment Grants: Ossur Flex Run This is a running foot. It s considered K4, and insurance won t cover these, however there are a ton of opportunities for grants and scholarships to help pay for these. I got mine through the Challenged Athletes Foundation, but there are many programs. Amputee Blade Runners is another wellknown organization helping athletes get access to more dynamic feet. Biodapt Versafoot This is a highly specialized foot for activities where ankle flexion is important. I use mine for snowboarding and mountain biking. Many athletes use them for weight lifting so that movements like squats are easier. Like the Flex Run, it s a K4 foot, and insurance will not cover it, but grant and scholarship programs can definitely help.
