Amputees Support Group
Amputation is the removal of a body extremity by trauma or surgery. Many have undergone amputation or have been living with a missing limb since birth. In either case, life as an amputee can be challenging. This is the place to find others going through the same experiences as an amputee.

I was just wondering if anyone could give recommendations for knees and what kind of set up you have if you are above the knee. I've heard alot about the Cleg but want to research all my options. I live on the water and on a farm, so I like to fish, shrimp and crab. Also I was mowing with a tractor with the below the knee. Do ya'll think I will be able to do this after the above the knee amputation? The ground here is really uneven so I really will really need something to accomodate that situation. Thanks in advance for any info.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

I'm similarly a hip disartic using a c leg. There aren't to many of us out there! Being a hip disartic I really like the stability of the c leg. It's save me from many falls! It's just too bad that they don't have a c leg for the hip joint.
