As an amputee I am somewhat qualified to comment. Even in developed countries prosthetic legs for below knee amputees seem pretty basic. After all they consist of something to hold the leg on....a metal post and a foot which may or may not be articulated..in fact for many patients the basic non articulated foot as developed during the Civil war is best. In terms of sockets there are many ways they can be held on to the leg and these can affect the comfort of wearing.
Many western patients still need crutches when using artificial legs. This is partially due to the balancing problems and the lack of feedback.
Thai artificial legs are quite good for below knee patients and they are supplied free to patients throughout Thailand,
If the amputation is above the knee it is a diferent problem and although good basic prostetic legs are available they cannot match the computer controlled ones available to a few at high cost in the west, If you are looking at a leg in Singapore or the west you are looking at around $5000 US plus for a below the knee leg with socket replacements at $2000 a year or so.
Thai service is good and available.
Just having a prosthetic leg does not mean people can use it.

Thank you for your detailed reply. This guys leg is amputated about ten inchs below the knee and his current artificial leg
is like the one you described. You mentioned that balancing and lack of feedback are part of the problem with artificial legs.
Would a modern design help with the balance issue. As for the feedback this brings me to the question of finding a service
either in Thailand or Singapore. Money is not so much of an issue but the US is not possible. Do you know o or can your recomend
where I can start looking for such a clinic that can provide the best possible service , Thanks.

For what it's worth, we are in Phuket and selling our property (re-sale). We are with 18 agents/brokers. Commission ranges from 3 percent incl VAT to 5 percent plus VAT.
A lot of the agents seem useless. There have been 3 I think who seem to be working hard for us and bringing clients. We had one offer a couple of months ago which we turned down. Last week we found a buyer wishing to pay the full price. We have accepted, obviously.

Hi chicken curry, Just read your post and was interested to see that you used 18agents/brokers when selling your property in Phuket. I am also in Phuket and looking to sell a property being 7 rai plot of sea veiw land on the north of the island. Any advise on the best way go about finding a half decent broker or any other methods of selling would be greatly appreciated.
