Hi Philip, i am the same and wondering how you walk so straight?  My prosthesis is very wobbly when i try using the one crutch, could you tell me what kind of leg you use?

cheers, Anna

Hi Anna, it takes time and be patient, you have to practice more to walk.... I am using Otto Bock 3R60. i think your socket doesn't fit you too well as mine doesn't move MUCH at all when i walk, and of course you have to close it really tight!!

post me some of your video to learn from each other.

Hi Philip, thanks for your helpful advice, i wont be able to put a video on because i don't have a video camera yet but i if i do get one i will send you it directly. I lost my leg from osteosarcoma year ago and still finding it very different to get use to. How much time do you spend every day practising?

look forward to your reply :)

I find my leg is very stiff with the cosmetic...is yours cosmetically covered? I have trouble bending mine properly, and always look like I have a stiff leg.

Hi Anna, I am using Otto Bock 3R60 and practice makes perfect, the more you walk and the more you will walk straight. I was wobbling too. Walk more is the ONLY solution!!!

Yes how does it attach to his none existent hip too?
