Thank you for these videos. I am ak and my knee froze. Your showing how it works helped me to fix it.
This is useful info! Doing my research while I heal, my left leg was amputated 8/5/21, my plan is to get a prostheses. I saw how much info was on your channel and immediately subscribed. Thanks for sharing with all of us!
Hi sir,
I'm curious to know that have you got a prosthesis now ?
Been using it for 20 some years... love it!
Total Knee 2000 sounds like home gym equipment you’d buy from an infomercial. Looks pretty cool, though.
I have one of those! I'm ak amputee since October 5th 2020. Just received my leg January 13th. Im Walking on my own now. I have a ossur 2000 total knee "black" an a trulife foot. It is great because you can adjust swing phase. like the resistance of the swing an basically everything is adjustable. Keep ur head up its hard but you can do it.ur hope for a lot of ppl 🙏. Love an respect
I have this knee too. From one week. Learning each day. in gym, in the street...in these videos. There is a long way but, step by step...thanks so much.
Hope everything is going well with you today!!!! Very informative as always. Have a great day!!!
I didn’t realise until recently that when the total knee swings through was that the hinge works slightly to slightly lift the foot as you swing thru so that you’re less likely to catch your toe which would cause the knee to buckle under you. Those bumpers make such a huge difference. 🤗
Yep that's the difference between single axis knees and this type of knee. :D
I’ve had the Total Knee 2100 about a year now and I just now found videos about it.
It took a little getting used to but I’ve used a Mauch sns for 30 or so years. I’m really liking the Total Knee. I’m not interested in any of the microprocessor controlled knees as I don’t want to be tied to a charger all the time. Plus having to have repairs done quite frequently turns me off. For me the ruggedness and reliability is a big selling point.
A Genius bit of tech!
That's pretty cool, thank you for sharing!
Big Fan and You're so cool and kind 😍
"Ouch I just hit myself in the shin"..
Which shin?
The best thing about a prosthetic foot/leg is nailing your toe or shin on the coffee table!
The shin that exists!!!
can you tell me what quick disconnect you have there. I have been looking for that exact thing....
Im using Ossur PH3
Which has almost same functionality.
Mine is pneumatic joint
What does it feel like walking in a above knee prosthesis vs a blow knee prosthesis? Does it feel a lot different and is it harder?
It is 30% harder to walk.
Do you plan on eventually getting a microprocessor knee?
This tech is amazing!
Hi, Thank you for sharing your prosthetic journey. As a newbie to this world, I find your videos informative.
I'm a recent above knee amputee and was wodering if you or one of your followers know what a K2 rating means for a prosthetic knee.
I have a video on K-levels just search my channel for it
@@AmputeeOT Thank you.
@@dennismccann5540 K1 for indoors; K2 for little outdoors use; K3 for active use and K4 for high intensity/sports
K2 u can walk outdoors,at a chilled pace,u maybe need a cane to help u walk longer distance if u like.😊
how did you go from bka to aka? Is there a video about this that I have missed?
I was given one of these knees for my dad from a friend. I took it to the prosthesis to ask about have a socket made and fitted for my dad and they said the supplier said it would not be possible service the knss as it was manufactured too long ago and they are unable to assist. This is super frustrating as the only thing he gets here from his medical aid and the government is a peg leg that he has been using for years.
I love your tattoo
Hi Cristina...first off all, I dont mean to make comparing..by your experience, which is the best...Ottobock, Ossur or any other prosthetic maker...as a user and buyer we must know which is better...
Niether is better. They all have good products.
Tq very much...I'm bilateral BKA...maybe next month I'll be choosing my first prosthetic for my both leg...
They wanted me to be cut above the knee but I am glad I kept my knee. I would not have been able to go camping Last Summer. I don't really like that thing they put over my leg it is rubber and it's going to break down eventually and get a sore and get infected. I don't even know if I want to have a leg
Hopefully I'll never need it! But that is pretty cool!
Hi there how much
How much kneeartifishal
is that an pneumatic ma'am?
Is that still a test socket?
Yep
@@AmputeeOT I recognized the tape on there. I am a below the knee amputee so I know what they look like. How long do you need to wear the test socket for?
@@ravenrose6672 for a few weeks until the residual limb adapts. The very first time is longer than the next ones. My second socket didn't need a single change.
What is process to by thi knee
Step 1: go to eBay
Step 2: buy a knee
I wonder if Insurance even would pay for a leg that nice. The way the system is now I doubt it. They have to be sure they get paid before you get anything. I needed shoes because I had an amputation of half of my foot and I could not get those paid for it and I lost my leg
Insurance hasn’t paid for any of my parts yet. I bought these parts on eBay.
But generally the only issue people have with insurance is paying for microprocessor knees. I’ve never heard of any insurance refusing to pay for a mechanical knee. Though I’m sure it happens.
@@AmputeeOT well I have the sleeve coming on Friday. I don't understand why it is rubber? I know I get a temporary leg and then it takes a long time to get a leg. And I know I have to be really careful not to get an infection. And then if I do get one doctors do not want to give me any antibiotics for anything so I have to beg for them if that happens and it starts breaking down I'm scared to lose more. Does yours break down sometimes? I'd rather have no legs then lose more
They don’t make rubber sleeves. It would be gel or silicone. Those are the best materials to prevent skin breakdown.
Hmmmm....ok....so what happens if you are walking uphill?
Well I wouldn't walk up on my toe, the knee would collapse under me.
chose ottobock !
What about ankles? Do ankles next?
Ankles don´t usually flex much: It would be hard for the user. I'm also an above knee amputee and now use a 3R80 Otto Bock, before that I used really basic knee so I noticed the change in the foot was subtle but in the daily use you are glad for the greater flexibility, but still not so much that you need to "control" it, just makes the gait smoother and easier to cope with unleveled surfaces.
