 Hello my beautiful internet friends and welcome back. So today we're gonna be modifying my eye walk a second time. If you've been around here a little while, you've probably seen the first video. But if you are an amputee and you're missing half of your leg and you've got an eye walk, which is a product I would highly recommend, you may notice that there's a significant part of the portion that your leg sits on that you just don't need. And I thought I would modify it a couple months ago just to see how it would work. It would actually feel better on my leg because I always felt like it was just unnecessary room and I discovered that it actually worked a lot better. It felt better. It didn't hurt as bad to like swing it forward and it really helped my mobility with it. So today I wanna take you on the proper way to actually modify it. There were a couple things that I definitely could have done differently and this is what the company actually recommends that you do to safely modify your eye walk if you're an amputee and you wanna cut off any portion of the platform that your knee sits on. Since I am terrible with tools, my dad is gonna be joining us for a second video to help me modify this. Now real quick word of warning, if you have any questions about any of this, don't listen to my advice. Make sure that you contact Eye Walk to the company directly, ask for their directions. They're fantastically responsive and really helpful. Your safety comes first so make sure that you contact them if you have any questions at all about any of this. Now one thing we're not gonna be able to actually show you is actually cutting off the back part of the eye walk because it's exactly the length that I need it now. If you're going to do that, what you're going to want to do is peel back the foam pad. Take that off first and then make the cut to actually saw off the end of the eye walk. That way the saw isn't gonna be eating up that pad and then you can put it back on. One thing to remember as you start deciding where you're actually gonna cut off the end of your eye walk is that structural integrity is really important. So make sure that you're cutting behind one of the ribs. That way you're gonna stay a lot more steady on it and it's gonna maintain that structural integrity. Meaning this ridge right here? Yeah. Then to make sure that you don't cut yourself or your puppies as they walk by, we're gonna sand down the sharp edges. Now this is something that I do wish I would have done the first time because it definitely does get a little sharp on the edge. So I have contracted my lovely father here to help out with his sand or to actually sand down those edges. So the next thing that you'll want to do, there are these straps that are adjustable, right? So you can slide them up and down. You just cut the end off, you're gonna cut off the part that actually stops them from falling off. So it's a thing that I didn't do the first time. I definitely want to do is put screws in the end here and I'll put a diagram up on the screen where they recommend that you put those for the safest use. So we got the, as I fall over, hopefully not, we got the screw in there. The edges are a lot smoother than they were before. So, if you're an amputee using iWalk, check out the description down below. I have linked some resources to help you properly modify it. This is the way to do it. It definitely helped me to have it shorter than the length that it normally comes with. It's a lot easier to move around like this. If you're missing half your leg, just cut off half your iWalk. Toss going fast, doesn't it? Pretty fast, mm-hmm. And success. So modifying your iWalk is actually not that difficult to do. Like I said, make sure that you really keep safety in mind when you're doing it. Reach out to the company if you have any questions at all. They're super responsive. They've been really good to me and I really appreciate that. But I would really recommend looking into modifying it. If you're missing part of your leg like I am, it's really helped make it a lot more comfortable and easy to move around. It makes it a little bit lighter too because you don't need that extra space. So, give it a shot, but be careful. Thanks guys for watching. I really appreciate it. I love you guys. I'm thinking of you, and I will see you in our next video. Bye guys.
