Hi .i am so impressed from your videos.recently my kid has been diagnosed with ataxia due to viral infection.the after effect is that she lost balance.after watching your videos i am thinking to get braces for her but i am confused what kinda brace she needs that help her to stand and not fall .i there any way reach you? Do you have contact number
Thank you for watching! Sometimes the leg extension machine can be uncomfortable on the knees, so I tend to stick to other exercises like minisquats, walking in a partial squat, or step ups, although certainly everyone is different!
Thank you for this tutorial! I was born without legs above the knee and use two above-knee prosthetics for around 18 years. Seeing content like this is truly inspiring and helpful. Keep up the great work, and thank you for your service. Love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

excellent visual training for amputees, and great for confidence building too. Thank you very much for creating these videoes . it is very valuable for all amputees.
i lost my right leg below the knee 3 years ago and my toes on my left foot are also gone but the toes were gone early 2024. it has been 3 years since i walked last. no matter how hard i try i cannot get anywhere. i had a revision surgery march 2024 i got my new prosthetic leg about 3 weeks go. i had my old one still but i could not control it nor could i get an appointment to get it rebuilt / replaced because they were booked up solid. i also have a set of "fake toes" it is an insert that goes into my left shoe with a platform and toes attached for stability. no matter what i do i cannot gain any balance. i switched from a pin and socket latching system to suction which is better and more stable but i have yet to get used to it. i will start looking at these videos and see if they help. PT comes every few days works me for 15 minutes and leaves. they don't even work me very hard. but they charge me like they do.
Thank you for sharing your story. You are truly inspiring and wonderfully positive. As a person living with an incomplete SCI injury for six years and most recently a below-the-knee amputation, some days can be challenging. Finding a reason to keep going and staying focused on progress a little at a time is so important and having tools as we progress, makes it easier. Many blessings to you on your recovery journey. 💜☮️🙏🤗
Thank you so much for these videos. I am in New Zealand. My Brother in law had Bilateral BK on 27 June and yesterday the left became AK. In following your "tutorial I am much more aware of his future path, and hopefully able to support him Physically and mentally. He is 4 month older than me, I turned 69 on June 28th. I haven't heard much about being put in prone position but we have been told to do certain exercises or there is little chance of prosthetic in the future. Best Wishes, Andrew.
Might be a stupid question but, what if there was a track above the patient and they were following it with their hand on a lead as they become more accustomed to the musculature necessary for running as well as give them freedom to take more chances as an education on what they can or should do without the lead in their hands? My theory is they will rely on the safety of the lead less and less as the become more motion confident, which help me in Breaking the Barrier of walking... less and less Reliance on assistance as the confidence developed.

Thank you very much. I recently compared the TurboMed and Walk On options. Understand these are quite different. I picked the Walk On option for its better control of “toe slap” and the lighter weight. How close should the calf cuff be to the knee? Is closer better? Thanks again.

I'm a Prosthetist with over 30 experience and have to admit that I've always approached teaching running for above knee amputees with some trepidation. This video has taught me more in a half hour than in my previous 30 years. Informative, concise and inependant of component supplier. An excellent guide which I'm sure to share with fellow clinicians and patients. Thank you!

I dont care about your religion. I havechad two years of therapy no such luck. I want to see you do your thing. My balance was bad before my amputations because of neuropathy. I want to watch you walk. Thanks.
Thank you this is one of the best videos I have ever seen, you guys will help a lot of orthotists and give them a new way to decide what is best for the patient
