- Even though she was born with a congenital lower limb discrepancy, Rushel never felt like she had a disability, and was described by her family and friends as going 100 miles per hour on crutches. After being fit with her first prosthesis following her amputation at age 9, it took a few years for her to regain confidence in her mobility. Her gait was never as secure or stable as she needed, and she stumbled and fell often. Unfortunately, she suffered a devastating fall that resulted in a fractured femur that required more than a year of recovery in a wheelchair and on crutches. Determined to feel safe on her prosthesis and never fall again, Rushel did her research and found C-Leg. Now she walks with confidence enjoying the world around her and doesn’t have to think about the ground in front of her. She also hasn’t fallen again since being fit with her C-Leg. Today Rushel is a peer counselor at Hanger Clinic, and is enrolled at her local university pursuing her education to become a prosthetist.
