What type of cosmeisis for Bock knee?

[Weldon Wallick]

Angie, I'm not sure who you are addressing this to, but will put in my "two 
cents".

I have an Otto Bock hydraulic knee, but it's not a "locking" type. So 
before I finally got it tuned to "me", I fell about four times. Haven't 
done that for some years.

I do have the flexible socket, which is very nice. My current prosthesis is 
very light compared to what I was used to over the years.

I would imagine that ladies would desire some kind of covering. I know 
nothing about "new skin".
