This video is for educational purposes as I wanted you to experience this with me. No weird comments please aha xx also I know they look the same as my old ones but I got the fit updated so they are more comfortable xxx
Who knows. Maybe
Functional ears can already be grown under the skin on your forehead. The only disadvantages are that they possibly won't work, and you have to have an ear under the skin of your forehead for I assume at least 3 months.

I wish there was a local company that could build my braces again. You are so fortunate. Congratulations!
Isabelle Weall
PS You look "womanly" in your braces.
It was very interesting all the proces, so the difference are how they fit you and the longer they are, am I right I'm from Mexico I hope I understand everything hehe I like your videos 😊
Interesting learning what amputees have to go through. Thanks for taking us along and educating us.
Dianna Perry it’s truly inspiring
Dianna Perry yeah! We go through challenges
Your eyebrows look so good😍
Emma Parsons yeah I know I can’t even do them with hands xx

I think it’s really beautiful that people with differences that aren’t represented in mainstream media are able to broadcast on RUclips and be not only an example but a way for people to learn and a way to have people see themselves represented. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Total respect for you Isabelle, you’re a bubbly and brave young lady, I wish you all the very best for your future and hope it’s full of happiness and love.
Girl, you're 15! These videos are really well done!!!!
I've binge watched your videos and you never seem to complain. That's so amazing. You always seem to be so happy and patient with everything. I wish you all the best.
I literally only came across your channel tonight and have been binge watching and subscribed after watching one video. It's so easy to forget how young you are! In such a positive way. My heart was aching because it just seemed like you were getting so uncomfortable while doing the casting. It's truly amazing to watch how you do day to day life ❤❤
Hellooo! I subscribed yesterday and I’m so happpyyy I did. Now I can keep up with your amazing videos I have watched so far
I LIKE SUPERNATURAL a fellow fandomer😏😏
Dissatisfied lol 😂
The new prosthetics look AMAZING! Beautiful color and design!
I just wanted to say thanks for showing your daily procedures and your spin on doing things. Most of all thanks to showing the world you are just a typical teenage girl with all the typical ups and downs. You're a lovely young lady. While I'm on the other end of the spectrum being an elderly male, I know the process of getting new prosthetic with my feet. The one question I have is how do the figure your height since you been an amputee since a young girl. Is there a certain height you hold for yourself? I know I keep the same shoe size I was at before my feet went all "wonky" being comfortable at that size (despite having large feet lol!). Never loose that sunny outlook and smile.
P.S. you always bring a snicker to me the way you tease and fondle your hair. Just like a lady always patting and Fluffy it around.
I’m about 5’4 and I have been for awhile. I can change it if I feel I’m short but for now it’s ok.
@@IsabelleWeall thanks, I was just curious. The one lady I knew had spinalbifita (sorry for spelling) and had no legs and settled at 5'6" but she was a stunt woman and had several sized prosthetics for depending on the job she did.
Yeah looking on the positive side u can decide how tall u want to be
I love the designs on your prosthetics! It’s awesome that they let you customize them like that!
You are THE REAL THING!!! Showing life could be lived with positive attitude no matter what... I suffer from bdd ( mental disorder ) I SHOULD SAY UR VIDS GIVE ME THAT ENERGY I NEED!!! Thanks gorgeous 🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing. I was wondering if your old legs are used for other patients or just recycled? Also, based on your videos, I can tell you have a huge heart! You're a very elegant young lady. With that, being that your heart doesn't have to pump blood as far, does it work more efficiently and will it actually remain stronger into your adult years? Thank you again, you're an inspiration to all!!!
Rick Williams The nhs doesn’t recycle the prosthetic components but there are some fantastic charities that will take donated Prosthetics from the uk and then ship them over to Africa and India and given to people that need them www.legs4africa.org and www.joininghands.org.uk or www.healcharity.org Speak to your limb Centre to ask if they have a donation box to donate your old Prosthetics, orthotics, crutches and wheelchairs and they can direct you to these charities. 😍

Same here!
This video was very interesting, thanks for taking us through the process with you :)
You are amazing and such an inspiration to many! You look beautifull! Love your videos :)
Just found your channel, you are a true inspiration and real proof that nothing is impossible. Good on you girl.
I've been trying to convince my dad to get cool patterns on his prosthetic for ages but he never does. Yours are so cool looking!
girl, you must have mean upper body strength to stand during casting! I wore like a spine brace thing for years and the process was kind of similar I guess...it's a pain to go through the process but it's such a miracle to get lefs like that!
Hell yeah! Those are some good lookin pistons, lad! :D Wear em with pride.
*lass
Just saw your TEDx talk and you were amazing Izzy! People are definitely drawn to you. I think it's both your personality and the fact that you're just so damn pretty! 😘
It's great that you have your new casts and I hope they're every bit as comfortable as your old ones. x
what an icon
I found your channel last night and I love how don’t let your disability stop you from doing anything ♥️
victoria, that’s because she views her disability as what it is - something she HAS, she IS NOT her disability. It is just one aspect of who she is, a teenager, daughter, sister, friend, animal lover, student, gymnast and tumbler to name just a few other aspects of who she is.
The art on those legs is simply gorgeous.
Love the pattern. I am partial to the color pink as well.
They are awesome girl!! You are working them for sure! So happy for u.
You are a hero to so many people! Thank you for sharing your life's journey with us all. You are so humble. May God continue to bless you.
so pretty, love the design, you are so strong and insperational
Those are some awesome legs! Do you ever think of customizations that you would like to have for personal thrills? i.e. go go gadget leg extender to make you 3 ft taller, or skyrunners that you can switch into reg walk mode, or motorized roller blades like Alita battle angel, there are some battery powered blades out there that can be coverted.
You are a VERY strong and amazing person. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
You're such a sweetheart and a badass :) Thank you for sharing! I had no idea what was involved.
I love your videos! They really teach a lot of things and I’m grateful. You’re such an inspiration please know that.🖤🖤🖤🖤
How long did it take you to learn to walk with them?? Very cool video btw, really interesting! 🖤
I love how you choose music in the background.. Thank you for sharing your experience and stories ❤️❤️❤️
How does it work in the winter? So you don’t fall on ice
Luckily there isn’t much ice around where I live but ice makes my life harder
Ive seen them with spikes
@@IsabelleWeall See if you can buy Yaktrax in the U.K. Amazon might have them.
Coincidentally, I'm at my prosthetist right now getting my check socket fitted for my first new leg in 10 years :D
Love the design on your legs! Thanks for sharing this process! It’s really interesting and educational for sure :) You’re really beautiful btw!
Have u tried prosthetic arms? These days they have 3d printed ones that's open source
previously she said she tried them but didn't really like them that much, she said she finds things easier to do without them~
There's a video of her saying she don't lime them
awesome process awesome people, can't wait to hear about your progress. Cheers.
I love watching this and your previous videos and all your future videos Isabel.
I just recently found your channel and I must be honest - it was a good reminder of how so many take the smallest things for granite, including myself, so thanks for that good reminder. I see you're taking your life by the horns so to speak. I'm from the US so I think it's interesting learning about how the UK does things. I do have a question, do you have the option to wear different shoes with those prosthetics? Also, I love what you have picked out. They're very pretty legs! Thanks again for educating us in so many ways!!! 💗
So I have a question, they make those full size silicone dolls. Could they take your prosthetics and cast them in silicone to make them look more like real legs? I watch the video of you talking about the comments that little kids make in the stairs and I'm just wondering if they can cast your Prosthetics inside a silicone leg so it actually look like a normal human leg as to a mechanical?
It might look realistic but I don't think silicone is durable enough for everyday use, I can just imagine the silicon would get damaged and stained very quickly and it would be difficult to repair. But then again I don't really know much about silicone :P
Also, it would make them incredibly heavy
Good points, was just thinking of a way. But yeah it would add weight.
@@JustinaRimkeviciute93
Never thought about that... Good point..
I know they do make some that have an outer skin part that is like a silicone rubber that very much looks like regular organic legs that let you wear socks, thigh high socks, and shoes also. Some people might swap between them and the kinds with the blade like she has to do more athletic activities. They are also developing the self powered assisting bionic prosthetics that have a normal walk gate and let people climb stairs easier.
Fam you're fantastic, I love watching your make up videos. Best of luck to you!
Isabelle you are such a strong and confedent girl it looks like you have no fear!!❤❤p.s. love you girl
Dang Girl, you are impressive!
Keep up the amazing attitude (and lets hope prosthetics keep evolving like in the last 10 to 15 years, maybe in the futre you will ahve it easier, especially once actual movement is doable without weighing half a ton).
Did you try some of the more recently developed arms as well? Does the NHS even make these (say I-Limb or somesuch?).
WHatever it may be, you are truly an impressive young woman.
My friend last year lost all his toes on his right foot and some on his left due to diabetes , was able to get a prosthetic shoe , is now back at work again riding a bike ,doing pretty much everything he did before and he is a little older than you but he is determined to continue on much like yourself , and with God's help I know you can .Take care Isabelle.
Keep living,keep fighting,keep the faith,forever in our 💕
Love that pink color. Really cool design!
Love your attitude and you are such a beautiful woman that I can’t help but smile the whole time I watch your videos.
I hope life is treating you well, thank you for the inspiration. Stay gorgeous
It was super interesting. I had no idea how prosthesis are made. Thank you so much for sharing.
You are so beautiful!!! I love your hair. 💜
Just watched your awkward moments video,😱, this could have been one of them. lol. Rocking the new pink leggs. keep up the good work and stay positive.
🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
So cool! The pink is a great choice! 💕
This is so interesting to watch!!! I do have a question though, why don't you have prosthetics with mechanical knees? Perhaps it's too expensive... but I thought it might worth it since it could be easier to walk around with them?
To my understanding (don't quote me on this) It is very difficult to replicate the natural walking cycle without compromising the balance
They have different levels of prosthetics. She's is at a high level because of her activity level. So the leg she has is build for that. If she was at a lower activity level they would give her a different leg, possibly one with a knee as well as an ankle joint.
It's also based off of preference
@@infinite_ammo I've only seen one type of leg that can do that, and it's the new type of bionic leg that assists of it's own power and makes climbing stairs and things easier
@@Ana-rw3vn yeah they cater to different activity levels, even the biological human leg will get injured or damaged if the activity is too much. There are most likely a few people that have prosthetics for high activity such as running and such, and another for just casual use.
Love that pink. They look so pretty!
I really like your videos. You are so honest with your experiences
Thanks for sharing this aspect of your life with the world. I'm studying OT, so it's really interesting to hear through youtube about people's experience with a whole range of conditions & disabilities ect. I'm curious, do you remember how many sets of prosthetic legs have you had? When you stop growing, will the time between new ones differ? Feel free to ignore my questions if you've answered before or don't feel like explaining :)
You have my heart girl😍
Congratulations! This is pretty cool to watch, especially if you never thought about this before.
interesting vid. Do you need to 'break' prosthetics in, like you do with shoes? Or are they never completely comfortable?
You have to wear them in.
Isabelle you did a great job explaining everything. ❤️👍🏻 I’m sharing it on my Facebook so my friends will have an idea what happens. It the same here in the USA. Much love to you. ❤️❤️😍😘
Thanks for posting.. it was interesting to see how your legs are measured and the ping finish looked great!
Watching this put a little more perspective in my live........
Very interesting Video. I’m a bit curious: Can you modifiy the length of your legs? Does it depend on the length of your own legs or any other factors? 🧐❤️❤️
I was wondering the same thing.
I think she explained it on her other video, that she can be as tall as she want it to be
Yes I can change them to be taller if I want to.
thats pretty cool!
@@IsabelleWeall that's pretty cool. If there is a Boy You like and he is taller than you, you can "just grow"
Yay!!! Stay true to your self! :-D
This is the coolest saddest thing ever. Cool how it all works sad because you have to go through it.
First comment ❤❤ you such a inspiration ✨ keep going!!! 😍
Girl please teach me how to do makeup ur makeup is sooo pretty
I find it hard to believe that those blades will not snap at some point in time. They look, from an engineering point of view, rather fragile but I'm sure they're not. I dare say they give a bit of flex/cushioning when walking. Must be a right pain in the B** having to go through that fitting every 2 or so years? I am curious to know if the sockets get a bit of machining with a Dremel on the inside for a closer/better fit once cast? Being a time served mechanical fitter, I've had to fit a few things in my time but not prosthetics. Very enjoyable to watch. Thank You.
Hey Izzy, first of all nice video as always.
I've always wanted to ask you, How do you edit your videos? Or do you have an editor?
Keep up the good job and greetings from LA
Hope that this is not a weird comment but what would you rather eat a plain cheese pizza or a pepperoni pizza? Just curious.
P.S. I love your videos and I feel like people should learn so much stuff from you. xx
love the pink design! x
I would like to see the painting process. Love the colors and designs.
I really enjoyed this video and I love your channel Isabelle! I just have a question and hopefully you don't mind me asking. Whenever you get new legs, are they always the same length? Or do they get slightly longer depending on if you grow taller? Thanks ❤
Is walking on a new set of prostetics different to old ones that are different size difficult? Also, what if you got drastically 'taller' or 'longer' (sorry not quite sure how to say it)?
Anyway, great videos, and you are awesome. Your makeup is also really good
I just found your channel and you are amazing 😉
Are there a lot of design choices? Are you able to design your own if you wanted? Great video, love the top bun also.
Love the colour they look so pretty. You are such an inspiration. Are you able to have prosthetic arms? If so would you I notice you seem extremely capable without
I just noticed the emoji when they were doing the whole process lol 😂😂. Well that was a good video keep it up love you💖💖💖💖
telestria ! Same haha😂💓
I love the color and design of your legs, they are so pretty! :D
The whole process takes a lot longer than I thought it did, if someone doesn't have prosthetic legs yet is it possible to rent legs that are close to the right size while the custom ones are being made?
I found your channel yesterday and wondered how you don't have more subscribers!! Your videos are good and you're so pretty btw! :)
Gorgeous... you & your new legs!!!💖
You're so pretty. You should get some cool 3d printed arms (in pink) like in scifi.
Do they have like cool looking covers that you can get it to put over where you get them colored pink. I am sure they probably make something like that but I’m just curious I think that would be a cool thing to have so you can change them up all the time like a cell phone case. I am a 32 year-old mua from Oregon in the United States and I really love your videos you are so amazing and have so much going for you. Your personality is absolutely amazing. I also love how much of a positive attitude you have I know that you help a lot of people and that is so admirable.Keep making amazing videos and have an awesome new year.
plaster casts! i remember those but in the USA they have laser scanners now. even at a little clinic in nowhere connecticut. you still get a clear fake socket to check for voids/fit but plaster was so 1999 ^_^
Who can dislike isabelle ? Jerks you are awesome
Will you always have to get them replaced every 2 years or will it be less frequent once you stop growing?
Nat Anglin I’m curious to know how they choose what height to make her. Bc my cousin had one leg amputated so they just made her the height of the other but having lost two legs how would they decide?
I think she said in another video that the height is adjustable so she can choose how tall she wants to be each day!
I love the pattern and colour!
Happy for you!!💞
They're so pretty!
Very interesting video! Thanks for filming the process! Did you go taller!?
I feel so silly when your were talking about the casting I was like yeah that sounds hard , like if you just stand on your stumps how to do they cast them but when I saw you and they did it one leg at a time makes so more sense
Ngl, I laughed so hard at the emoji you used for censorship XD
I have a question concerning your prosthetics so wide apart compared to ordinary legs? And why do your hips tilt (hope its the right word) backwards?
Ente Duck I always wondered this, think it’s where the body is trying to balance itself out maybe?
I think she mentioned this in one of her older videos, it's because her legs are amputated up to her knees, so she can't bend her legs (with prosthetics or not), and she uses her hips instead to be able to walk! Something about balancing it out. I might be wrong but that's what I remember:)
Theyre wide apart because she has pretty wide hips I guess. As to the tilt, its because she cant move her knees, so a lot of that movement comes from her hips and lower back instead. Not great for her back ofc, but its that or a wheelchair.
Her legs have to move outward instead of the "normal" knee bend that people without leg amputations have because,,,, well she doesn't have knees to bend! So it looks like she's kinda penguin walking because the hip joint is really the only leg joint she has!
There's a huge difference between being amputated above or below the knee. Some people with bone cancer have had their knee amputated and their foot reattached backward so they will have a joint they can control. Without a knee joint, she's doing very well and it's obvious she's experienced and well adjusted by how well she's doing.
I absolutely love your channel and your videos! Quick question, would you ever get prosthetic arms (is that even a thing😂) ?
That's really cool! are you also thinking of getting prosthethic arms too? or would you say you are 100% capable of arms and hands? Happy for you ❤❤😊
This was fascinating, thanks for sharing!
It's a nice touch to be able to customize the legs
Imho I think those are are very nice indeed
Awesome video!! I personally never knew the steps in the process.
Your hair is so pretty
Curiosity.. why don't they use plaster of paris (i think thats what its called)? Sit your leg in it, wait for it to dry and then cast your leg that way? Would it not fit better and mould to your shape more accurately? Really love watching this. Nice to see what process you have to go through (: Also, do you just get the top part of your prosthetic done or the whole leg including the blades?
The bandages are coated in a similar sort of thing so they shape to my leg and them harden.
Plaster like that actually heats up as it cures so placing a part of your body into it while it does so is actually dangerous. I have seen some videos where people have things cast using silicone mould material in a similar way to what your are talking about but it isn’t really any more accurate than the method in this video.
Thankyou for helping me understand :D
