Impossible is Nothing- Running with My Prosthetic Leg

[SteffiReitsch]

My friend recently had his left leg amputated below the knee due to diabetes.He is currently in a wheel chair and in despair. He needs a prosthetic leg. What kind is that you have and where did you get it? Bestoink in Atlanta. Blublabla52@yahoo.com

@SteffiReitsch ok well I have two.. the one I use everyday is my walking foot, it's a Renegade. That's the one I wear in most my videos, the one I can put a shoe on. Then the one in this video is my running foot, it's a cheetah foot. It's designed for distance rather than speed, but as you can see I am able to run pretty fast. You can get all your feet/legs from a prosthetics office. You just need to find a local one. Message me if you have any other questions.

How did you lose your leg?

As a right BKA who gave up my leg (on 1/5/11) due to an aneurysm behind my knee - I SALUTE YOU!!!! I was doing deep knee squats in the weight room when I felt something "pop". Thought it was an ACL; but after I went to the hospital and a CAT scan was performed, it was discovered that I had blood clots that destroyed most muscle tissue in my lower leg.

I just started back driving my car and will soon be back on the golf course.

Do a search on SMR4REAL to see my first steps on 5 Apr 11.
