 How long does it take to learn to walk on a prosthetic leg? Great question. It's not as straightforward as it might look. Then a week or so of receiving my leg, I was able to walk short distances without assisted devices, hands-free, which was super exciting. But one of the biggest obstacles to learning to walk on one of these is that they don't really feel great. You can only wear them for an hour or so at first as you're kind of adjusting to this change and you have to build up from there. Within a few months, I was able to wear it for more than eight hours of time and began the process of really learning to walk correctly. One of the weirdest things about transitioning to being an amputee when you have walked previously is you think walking is second nature, but honestly, it's not. When you're learning to walk on a prosthetic leg, you actually have to relearn how to walk, which muscles you're engaging, how not to limp, how not to overcome and say with other areas of your body so you don't get hurt. Took about six months of using my prosthetic almost daily to really begin to walk comfortably and to begin to feel like it was second nature. From there, I built up to doing cooler things like running, biking, hiking, and even snowboarding. When it comes to using prosthetics and being an amputee, you do learn that there really isn't a normal. Every body is different. Everyone learns differently. There are different complications, so there's not really a timeline for learning to walk, but this is how long it took me.
