The info I'm looking for is why have they prescribed a c-leg. 
Good question Jean, but we are still missing answers to previous questions 
asked. Was another type of prosthesis, non-C-leg, ever prescribed? If so what is 
the status on that prosthesis?

As some of you know a trend has been started of insurance companies denying 
microprocessor system such as the C-leg because of the lack of evidence based 
research to support the advertising claims of the manufactures. Both AOPA, the 
prosthetics trade association, and ACA have partnered to try and reverse this 
trend.
