  • Wes: Great Q&A spots; your openness is very valuable. Question: From Episode 6--"hopping is handy"---are you concerned that, over time, hopping will stress your right knee/ankle/foot?

  • Q. Do you have a flexible socket or is it rigid?

  • Q. Do you have a socket that is flexible or is it rigid? Is sitting down with a socket uncomfortable?

    Thanks and love the Q and A!

  • @59robjon Hey "59robjon", that is not true about the C-Leg and 2 mode. All C-Leg's since the first model in 1997 can have a 2nd program mode setup for what ever activity you want. That can be free swing all the way to a locked knee. The prosthetist must program the 2nd mode to what you want it to be. So it does not have to be just free swing. I know many above knee amputees with a right leg that drives a normal car, using 2nd mode programmed to let them go from the gas to brake pedal safely.

  • Why is your hair so short???

  • Q. Can you climb a ladder (both solid or rope ladders) with an AK prosthesis or is it easier/quicker to climb without the prosthesis?

  • @ Wes you're awesome - quick questions for next time: (2) Do you take your leg off to get it out of the way when you drive? (2) Have you ever considered having having hand controls installed on your car? They are really cool and make driving a lot easier for amps. PS love the 1-legged stair climbing, I think you can go up and down faster than a 2-legged person. (LOL) Just amazing my friend. Later

  • Another great Q & A!
