Bilateral Above Knee Amputee Driving 5-Speed

Here is Heath driving his 5-Speed Mustang Cobra without the need for any special adaptations or modifications! He only needs his C-Leg's that have a second mode programmed to let the knees operate the gas, brake and clutch pedals without the risk of the knee collapsing to the floor.

@umanfire both knees are in the second program mode for driving a manual transmission vehicle.

it seems that the two guys preferred shorter prosthesis, for a easier walk;

they accept to be shorter , in order to have more equilibrium and less effort;

isn't it?

the vidoe is exceptionnal, wonderfull. thanks!

@louislancelotti The height is very close to the original height. Some people prefer to be shorter because it is a little easier to function with bilateral above knee prosthetics and manage the balance. But usually this is for a training period. But the end decision is based on function.
