Is this the same for BKA amputees?

@MissionGait 3 жыл бұрын

For the most part. The "nose over toes", keeping the weight on the toe of the prosthetic, and hand placements on the chair cues are the same. For someone with a below knee amputation, you are using your thigh muscle to control your knee to help in raising and lowering you whereas the person in this video has to push on the back wall of the socket because she does not have a knee to control the motion.

My new leg is mechanical, is a hydraulic prosthetic better?

@MissionGait 3 жыл бұрын

Mechanical prosthetic knees are capable of a lot, but they do have their limitations. Hydraulic knees have additional features that can make it easier for you to get around.
