Bilateral below knee amputee demonstrates putting on the prostheses. The silicone liners are first rolled onto the residual limbs. After putting the limbs into the sockets, a neoprene sleeve is rolled over the top of the sockets to provide a seal to lock the limbs securely into the sockets.

  • That's awesome.... INSPIRING!!!!

  • this is otto bock s ??? i too use de same love it totaly pain free nd moreover we feel it as integeral part of our body

  • @Horrormaniacs1

    Hey im a left below knee, I lost my leg in a traumatic train accident. Yes it is pain free. However there will be lingering phamtom pains. Personaly, I sometimes get electric discharges which make it feel like pins poking at the toe i no longer have. It last several seconds and its minimal pain. Other than that missing a leg below knee is not so difficult. Its been a year since my accident and i started walking 5 months ago.

  • @ydeeps25 I lost half my right foot and I'm about to prob go below the knee , Is it really pain free once your leg heals ?

  • so good so new
