As a uni-LAKA, I never thought about this before since I was a teen.... until I got older. Now, at age 59, it's a big deal. Thanks for your video!

[@MissionGait]

Glad to be a resource to you! You're welcome!

[@stacieklueber6340]

This patient makes this look easy!!! Amazing!!!

[@treotraveler]

Thank you for the video. Although I am not a bilateral amputee, I had a right leg above knee amputation on 9/20. I got my prosthetic leg on 1/21.
Nobody ever taught me how to get into a wheel chair from the floor. I had to figure out how to do that myself. Now I am walking with a cane. Nobody ever taght me how to get up from the floor with my robo leg either.
I have used your tips in this video to get up from the floor. And your tips work well for me. Thank you again.

Sorry to hear about the struggle to learn, but glad we were able to help in a small way.

[@TNDRIVER]

What about a video about the proper way to get up from the ground if you are a below the knee amputee. I had to ask for help because no one has ever taught me how ir worked with me. I am about 2 years into my having a prosthetic leg. Thank you

Want to see before posrthesis training

[@TIGERWOLF-X]

I just got a prototype prosthetic leg to use before I get my permanent one. are you supposed to feel pressure on the lower inside of your knee when you use it?
sometimes I feel pressure & if I use it for a little bit it starts to feel like pain. also, I can feel it hyperextend my knee at times.

Yes. I am double amputee and have both an AK and a BK. My AK side took a few months before I built up strength to feel more confident and stop worrying about hyperextending. The pain probably ranges from person to person, my biggest fear when I first started was snapping my knee from the side, so I usually wear a knee brace.

I dont have postic leg
