One device was developed in San Antonio by Ryan Blanck, a prosthetist at the Center for the Intrepid at Brooke. |
My prosthetist is taking the Freedom Foot he used on the first leg he ever made for me and attaching a new socket to it. |
I was told very early on by my prosthetist that if I wanted a limb that looked realistic I'd have to pay for it. |
And then your own prosthetist has to make the socket and the shin, because everybody's limb is different shapes. |
David the prosthetist who I saw was so appalled by my limbs that he had to fetch Bob Watts, the chief prosthetist, to show him. |
My prosthetist made a pair of plastic and carbon fibre sockets which fit my stumps. |
