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 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.
