Oh yeah, almost forgot.
We talked about M6 sizing concerns. I talked to another poster here who felt like the M6L is too small for his vertebrae. He's tall and the ADRs look tiny in there. It is a bummer I said that there is no M6L that is XL. It only comes in a large. Dr Clavel also wished there was a larger one beyond the L, but it is what it is. He said it should not pose a problem.
Also, I asked about his experience in other prosthetic devices like the Acitv L. He has only done 20 to 30 of them so compared to his experience with the M6, experience is limited on that front.
Hope this is helpful.
