Hi, i was wondering if you would be able to contact me regarding your prosthetic limb, as I am doing a extended project qualification based on lower leg amputations, prostheses and aftercare and it would be a great help if you could give me any information to go towards my end report. Many Thanks
my name is melissa, i would love for you to email my son, who is 7 yrs old. we have been thinking he needs to get a prosthetic for knee down. he is very resistant about it. i would love for him to communicate with someone who does have a prosthesis. thank you
i know this might sem crude but how come a prostic leg dosent fall off when you take your weight off of the leg, i know they are custom fited and made per person but what actually keeps it on?
I am a recent amputee due to septicaemia and have the standard prosthesis attached by a strap over the knee. It is a very poor device. I also have a waterproof device for swimming and that fits better with a ladies type girdle material over the the top section and onto my leg. It holds well.
So your lovely leg!! Is it available outside the UK? and also how much did you have to pay?
interesting. thx for the infos. Well, I have a unusual question yet unanswered. Could it be possible that with so much high tech material its possible to create a prostetic leg that lets you run even faster then with "traditional" legs ? i have no idea ... i heared somthing like that sometime ago and i wanted to ask. thx.
Have you heard of neuroprosthetics? It's where the limb is attached to your nervous system, and controlled by you. It's actually pretty interesting to read about all the new prosthetics technology, mainly how DARPA's doing it.
hey ever fill it with beer? i would be so tempted to walk into a bar slap it on the counter and yell "fill 'er up!!" lol jks seriously tho that's some impressive tech you got there. just think in a couple years they'l have ones where you can actually feel and move it!
I'm a fairly new bka and I was just wondering what's the purpose of the cut out carbon fiber in the front and back. My prosthetic socket is just carbonfiber and I currently use a suction socket.
Hi, I've been given an engineering assignment to develope a prosthesis that integrates directly to bone for transfemoral amputees. I think that asking a few questions of the present prosthetic leg would help me design better.
I would like to find out what specific challenges you have in using this leg, like the kind of chafing or discomforts that comes with using this and if you have any sugestions to what you might like in a future preosthetic leg.
Hi there, thankyou for this video its very interesting as im about to become an amputee may i see you walk please? and could you tell me how long have you been an amputee?
