LEARNING TO USE PROSTHESIS Amputee Walking On Prosthesis For The First Time

- Learning to walk in a prosthesis can be exciting and scary at the same time. Take your steps slowly and listen to your body!
This is my first prosthesis since my elective amputation on July 2, 2021. I have waited 8 weeks for this and I am super excited to live my life to the fullest again.
Learning to walk on a prosthetic leg for the first time is a slow and cautious process. Amputees generally use a walker, crutches, or other walking aids to begin slowly. As their residual limb desensitizes, they are able to walk more freely learning to balance in controlled movements.

I haven’t looked at my prosthetic foot yet. Join me Sunday for an up close look!
Can’t wait.😁
I lost my leg AK do to a accident learning how to walk all over again is hard sometimes the Is phantom pains are ruff
I am totally amazed! I didn't expect to see you moving around (SO WELL) without any assistive device!!! You are a Rock Star!!! I'm so very happy for you but PLEASE don't overdo it. Well done, my dear! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you! I am notorious for over doing it so I’m really trying not to. I took yesterday off completely and it helped!
@@ElectiveAmputation 👍🏽Very good!
So close to getting my prosthesis and inspired by you
🤩🤩wow amazing progress!
Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing your story, it will be very helpful for others facing similar journeys!
Thank you! I hope so
Who knew how excited you could be to be doing the "Mom" things again!
Yes!! Just in time for school to start tomorrow 😰
You give me so much inspiration! Thank you so much. I told my prosthetist I wanted ‘the works.’ My biggest problem is air getting in there. I got your basic stuff. Nothing like what you have. Thank you again.
Yay!!! I am so happy for you!! I am sure those first steps had to feel so freeing!
Yes for sure! I have a long way to go but I’m getting there!
I am happy you posted this I to had a BKA on September 6 2021 and should hopefully get my leg on next week. Watching this is going to help a lot thanks for posting
If you have any questions let me know! Nice to meet you!
So good to see you getting around so well! ❤
Yes thank you! I’m out shopping right now. It’s a slow process but I’m out!
Looking good! One step at a time.
Thank you!
Wow! Great progress!
Thanks!
Brava brava signora complimenti, sono felice per lei, finalmente i periodi brutti stanno finendo, buone cose.

You got this!! 💪🏼🦿
You’ve smashing it! Thank you for another brilliant update. xx
Thank you! One step at a time
@@ElectiveAmputation ya know what? I also have to thank you for taking time to reply to everyone’s comments. Being a wife , momma and just having a very serious surgery is difficult and time consuming_. But you ALWAYS. stop and acknowledge everyone. ❤️ you’re pretty amazing.
@@mooseontheloose1389 you are so sweet tot say that thank you!
Way to go!
Thank you. This gives me hope. I have a BKA left leg and must still start the process to get my prosthetic leg.
Currently my favorite video anywhere. I had a BKA in January 2022. I just picked up my leg yesterday.
Congratulations on your leg!!! How is it going so far?
@@ElectiveAmputation The surgery & recovery went fine. No real pain to speak of & no meds, which surprised me. I have zero phantom pain, although your video with the duct-taping of your toes kind of nails it. As far as my prosthesis, I had a bit of problem with some insurance issues (long story!), but it seems to be working well otherwise. I'm on day two of walking around my house & it's pretty consistent with your day 2. I'm really looking forward to the day that I can go shopping with my wife & not need one of the Walmart go-carts to get around the store. I'm even more looking forward to hiking, golf, and getting back on my motorcycle.
@@Breincel it sounds like you are well on your way!!! Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing
Wow ! you are my new Hero ! fore sure.
Haha thanks!
Thank you! I just got my first Below Knee Prosthetic and am trying to get up and start walking. It still needs adjustment and it feels like it is a bag of cement that I am carrying around. You seem to be doing well and you have the support of your husband. "Good on Him"!!!!! Wish me luck. Thanks, Stephan,.....
Best of luck! You can do it. It’s a little cumbersome at first but keep at it!
@@ElectiveAmputation Thanks!
How are you feeling? It’s amazing to see you walking so well so soon!!!!
I’m doing ok! One step at a time for sure. I’ve had to take it slow and remember I’m still healing. Thanks for checking!
I know your excited about walking again. Take your time get use to your prosthetic and just maybe by the holidays you will be using only a cane. Stay safe and hop on. Yes it will take time for you and your body to adjust to it. Remember it takes about 30% more engry to walk now.
It’s slow going for sure! I did not expect that. One step at a time!
you’re so pretty and inspiring to others i thank god for you can you please share this particular video with solid sunnyi she’s a blogger.just maybe this video would help her to getup and take her life back.she’s a double amputee.
You did great starting out! I'm a ATK amputee for going on 3 years now and I started out with a walker and within 2 days put it aside and used a cane then found myself carrying it around so I put it aside and and have been doing good since...I just got a new knee and I'm waiting on my BOA socket. Do you struggle with phantom pains? Nerve pain?
Another thing is the surface you were walking outside was down hill when you walked away from the camera. When you walked back toward's the camera there was a slight up hill grade. I did see when you were inside it was a level surface. Not sure if you have found Footless Jo yet, she is a below the knee right leg below the knee amputee and also put's a lot of TH-cam video's might be helpfull.
Hoping you or someone can help. I recently got my 2nd socket. (BTK) The edges at the knee level were ruff and tore a hole which in turn doesn't help the socket stay on properly. She put this 5 inch plastic over it to help?? Which it did not and in 2 days it was starting to ripe another hole. She used felt all the way around. This helped greatly. However, I started with a 3 ply sock within a week I went down to a 1 ply sock and after a few weeks I was down to a one ply. Then I went down to ZERO ply. I called and continued to let them know these things were happening. Now I am below ZERO or maybe I should say. I am in up to severe pain for about a 1/2 hour. Then I remove the socket for about an hour and put it back on and I do not seem to have as much of a problem. I saw my doctor and explained this to them and they pushed a script to them. Their answer back was.....................Jim is doing great and says he has no problems WTF. Others have seen what I am going through as well and have heard me talk to them on the phone. I asked the doctor about what they said and they are providing a copy of what they said. Maybe someone can explain to me what is happening with my leg because they sure the hell can not. Of course a 9 to 5 job doesn't help me and then knowledge of making notes is more then sloppy. YES I will be finding another after my next and final visit. Then I will fire them.
I am shocked how in 2 months you can get on a prosthesis. I still had stitches that were not healed, it hurt, there was swelling, but from another country, maybe in America they do such amputations better for you.
mam how much distance can u walk can u please tell me😥
If my socket fits well, I can walk a few miles no problem.
I think having a leg amputated can and is one of the most beautiful transformations that can happen to a woman. It makes her more desireable. More Sensual, and definitely more Erotic. Its not ugly, or disfiguring. I am also an amputee and find thaty many women love a guy with stump. In my case...NO FEET! Everyone has a fantasy person they would love to share their life with. I just prefer a beautiful woman inside and out without her feet or legs. OH!!!! She must LOVE animals!
I’m sure you know since is 2 years later, but you were sinking into your socket and needed a sock…. Shouldn’t ever have tibial pain.
Nice video!
