"Perfecto, Amigo..." Luis Torres Displays Amazing Progress

`Human Chain of Love' Embraces Nicaraguan Teen Receiving Prosthetic Leg: Range of Motion Project (ROMP), Scheck & Siress, and Healing the Children join forces to give 16-year-old Luis Torres a new right leg.

Eric Neufeld, Scheck & Siress prosthetist and Range of Motion Project (ROMP) co-founder, remarks on Luis' amazing progress within minutes of starting to walk on his new leg. In this clip, Luis goes up and down stairs for the first time with the new prosthesis in the Bannockburn, Illinois office building where Scheck & Siress is located.
