Going from being a BK all my life to an AK and it's definitely a Different beast. I've watched several of your videos for walking before attempting my first walk on the above knee prosthesis check socket and my Prosthetist was impressed. But, I totally contribute with how well it went to being able to watch your videos before hand as well as maybe my past experience with having the BK, thank you. I have another appointment with him tomorrow so here I am again.

[@MissionGait]

You are so welcome.

Being AK myself, It's been a month and I'm still using a walker. It's definitely not a easy task.

Oh my goodness! It is a big deal and something that is important to learn for any lower limb amputee. Happy it was helpful!

[@Blissfulnessence]

Is there a way for an ak amputee *without* a prosthesis get off the floor. If so, is there a video?
The logistics of it seem impossible.

[@trinetabhojwani2666]

hey! thanks for this great video :) ! Can the same steps be followed for a below knee prosthesis?

[@MissionGait]

Yes! While it is never easy, below knee amputees do not need to worry about the prosthetic knee giving way.

Sus clinicas en donde se encuentran mi esposo nesesita una protesis estamos en dalas

[@MissionGait]

Hello. We are solely focused on education in walking rehabilitation. We do not provide prosthetic limbs.
From Google Translate: (Hola. Nos enfocamos únicamente en la educación en rehabilitación para caminar. No proporcionamos prótesis.)

[@jayhenderson2683]

I think standing up alone with nothing to hold onto, is easier for a woman because of a lower center of gravity.
