Lower leg amputation surgery | DR A.B.C

"As a bilateral above knee amputee, arm strength, core strength, and the ability to lift your body weight with your arms are essential to help with transferring back into a chair after walking with your #stubby prostheses. Since your body is much lower to the ground, the seat of the chair is much higher than your butt, so you have to be able to use your arms and core muscles to elevate yourself back into the chair. Here we are using 2 aerobic steps to push up from. We could not use push up block

Tina’s putting in the work! 🦾 During her prosthetic appointment, this above-knee amputee powered through squats, kettlebell swings, and rowing.🦿 The strength, balance, and control she’s built throughout her prosthetic journey is incredible👟✨ #abovekneeamputee #prosthetictraining #limbdifference | A Step Ahead Prosthetics

Sometimes it's worth reminding yourself that we really shouldn't moan or complain about the little things in life that don't really matter. Welsh rugby player Ifan Phillips lost his leg after a car crash a month ago. At just 25 years old, his career was ended and his life changed forever in an instant. But that won't stop him. He is back training in the gym already. What courage. What an attitude. Well done Ifan, we're all behind you. 💪 https://bit.ly/3FphEEV | Wales Rugby Online
