Fifth. No mechanical toe joint, the flexibility of
the rubber or felt giving the desired motion.
Sixth. The cords or tendons come in contact with no surfaces to cause friction or wear and are adjustable so as to give any desired mobility to the ankle joint.
Seventh. Knee joints, for amputation below the knee, with four bearings, taper phosphor bronze bushings, and taper bolts, giving the greatest degree of wearing surface and requiring the least possible lubrication.
Eighth. The purchaser has the choice of a wood socket, leather lacing socket, or the Neverchafe spring socket, which ever is best adapted and most suitable for the peculiarities of his case, and for amputation below the knee an extra attachment is included for use in place of the knee joint and thigh lacer, at such times as it may suit the wearer to try it.
The best product in this line, if within the
means of the purchaser, should be the one chosen;
but while the Walkeasy leg possesses so many
eminent features it is not more costly than the
average product of other manufacturers. Moreover,
our guarantee is that if it fails in realizing to
the wearer what is promised to him, we are more
than willing to secure the point of perfection without
extra charge, and make of it for the wearer his
ideal and not ours.
