I’m a machinist for the company that made your leg, it’s great to see that what we make changes lives & interesting to watch it in action.
That’s cool!! You make the Linx????
@@AmputeeOT yes, I machine the complex metal parts.
You're back, my prosthesis was referring your channel to new amputees, he said it is so needed, I am going to hike the Appalachian Trail starting February 23rd, amputees can do more than we think
Amputees can do now ev
I'm so envious that you just step into your prosthetic! Mine is such a to-do in comparison! My socket is just a socket, it has a "drain", I have to use a special sock-thing they call a Pull, with a loop I string through the drain to loop around my foot, to pull my stump into the socket. Then that socket gets its own sock, THEN I just step into the leg, which I have to strap on with a leather belt.
Also that you can STAND on one leg! Never mind do all the things you do on one leg! I can only stand if I rest my other knee on my wheelchair. If I try standing I start tipping in a bit under a second.
My above knee prosthetic is very much like yours. I do not wear a liner however, one is a total suction socket.
I am glad I found your new videos your where my inspiration back in 2014 when I going to be become a amputee & after that year stay blessed take care looking forward to more videos friend
There just aren't enough opportunites to say don and doff these days. 😁 Thank you for another great video! Love it!
Disagree, with the pandemic and all the talk of masks.
Ty for you videos, love them so i know what to expect when i get my prosthetic.
Honey, God bless you on your journey AND for this video! My mom is fixing to lose her left leg, and I'm starting to do my research. Yours is the first video I've watched! Well done and informative!
When your stump gets more stable, a skin fit socket is the way to go, no more sleeves to slide down or constrict your stump. With the skin fit sockets, it is better if wicking boxer briefs are worn with part of the briefs going into your socket, but not far enough to lose suction, to avoid painful ingrown hairs.
I am a bilateral above knee with a hand injury that doesn't allow me to use my entire left hand currently and having trouble rolling the liners on my residual limbs
Gah! People have asked me about this problem before and dang it, I don’t have a solution for you. I really wish I did!!
Another thought for your socket is to have the valve inset into a protective socket, like an eye socket, to protect the valve from being broken.
Thank you.
Thank you, that was very informative. Are you still using the Linx?
Use 90% rubbing alcohol, in a squirt bottle to spray the inside of your socket before putting your leg inside the socket, this aids as lubrication and evaporates very quickly. It is also better to step into the socket with the valve out, this allows you to step into the socket without resistance and you can also feel into the valve hole with your finger to check if you are all the way down into your socket, then screw the valve in. Once the valve is in, put weight on your socket and press the valve once or twice to make sure all the air is displaced.
There needs to B a Dr Who story arc involving amputees & Cybermen.
That is a cool prosthetic leg
Caught my thumb in my socket and realized I can crack pecans with it... LOL! Talk about learn to wear a gel cover over the socket real fast... was like slamming a finger in a car door... when I pushed myself up off the floor from a sitting position to a standing position... and caught the thumb in the socket joint... I had a few explicit words to say in that event...LMAO! Live and learn... have a great day and thanks for the videos...
Hi, i also have a socket that is so high..gives a lot of pain and irritation. We are now going to try a nu flex socket..we are curious if it is going to work..and if not, we have at least tried. Did you try the lower socket?
Nice video, but the sound level was very low on my laptop.
I had an Ottobok C-Leg in 2008, still using it. The battery, which is 13 yo, still CHARGES. But the charger wires are wearing out. Any help to obtain a used one. Covid-Broke! 😊
Love your videos!
I hate how they all wanna make that socket go up and turn out like that. Every time they do mine that way it’s dremel time soon as I get home.
I would love to see you get around. Thank you.
What if you only have one useaable hand to put socket liner on
If you don't mind me asking, what happens to your leg? And also what do you do to keep from sweating from the liner. I tend to sweat a lot from my liner.
Hi, I'm a bit late to reply. But I think initially a lot of sweat is expected, Although as you get used to it, the sweating reduces. A key thing is to clean your liner every day
@@rohansamalhello thanks for the response. Ive had my prosthetic leg for about 2yrs now and I still sweat a lot, but I find using deodorant helps with smell a bit and a little bit of the sweat. I do wash my liners everyday but they do still have that nasty smell. I wish there was something to do about that.
@@jacobbenavidez9096 ah. I'm only an amputee for 1.5 years or so. Recently had some changes to the liner and suddenly my skin is tearing at the buttocks when I wear the prosthetic and walk (even 1km or so). Have to find time to go to prosthetic center :(
Are u above leg?
@@rohansamal I'm below the knee, but I have the same problem like you do. Right at the end of my limb I've got a good size tear too. And this is the second prosthetic that I've gotten and it's still doing the same as the first one. So ya I've got problems with it
@@jacobbenavidez9096 I used to fold the liner where the prosthetic touches my skin. Was able to walk a lot better then, but the liner would tear.
Trying to figure out how to fix things now. I wish you all the success in life Jacob.

Hi my name is George, I am currently in Rehab trying to learn how to use my new leg an above the nee prosthetic. Question how long did it take you to walk without any kind of support.
About an hour. But I’m not typical.

Are you in a hotel? If so, I'm just wondering why.
