Hi Anita-

Thanks for the input on ankle units. It seems that most bilateral
amputees like to feel some connection with the floor instead of too much
motion in an ankle unit, especially when just standing.

It also seems that the younger (more athletic) wearers can tolerate more
motion, but I would think it would be tiring to not have a "neutral"
spot to balance when standing. Take care
