Trans-tibial amputee Stan Andrews achieved a lifelong dream by climbing the highest mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro. Dubbed the "Goliath Challenge", Össur 's Vari-Flex XC proved to be unstoppable.
This is so awesome! I'm a BKA for 39 days now, but I can't wait to have my life back! And I feel stronger than ever! I can't wait to get to the gym and do a lot of things that for 8 years I haven't been able to!! I was involved in a car crash in 2007, doctors wanted to amputate the leg-they saved it - I "visited" hospitals for 3 years, they all told me I'm gonna limp, instead I didn't! I worked so hard on my walk-mode, that no one could notice anything (2011)! I also kept going on bike, but nothing extreme-because of the severe consequences This is the foot I'd like, for 2 reasons: sport and heels ^_^ The only trouble I have is finding the "resources" to get it...cause the Italian state, all that supplies for new amputees is a (very) basic prosthetic leg....that could definetely fit to an elder who moves from living room to bedroom.. yeeayy! Anyway... this video really gives me some hope.... Go Ossur! And bravo Andrew!!
