I'm a Prosthetist with over 30 experience and have to admit that I've always approached teaching running for above knee amputees with some trepidation. This video has taught me more in a half hour than in my previous 30 years. Informative, concise and inependant of component supplier. An excellent guide which I'm sure to share with fellow clinicians and patients. Thank you!

Our team is thrilled to know that our educational content is reaching the right professionals, who in turn are changing the lives of patients! We hope that you continue to find our resources helpful. As a prosthetist you may be interested to know that we have received approval from the ABCOP board for CEU credits for CPOs for both our Level I Course (virtual and in-person), and our Level 2 Certificate in Prosthetic Gait Rehabilitation. Just in case you are ever interested in/or looking for continuing education for yourself or colleagues. Thank you and wishing you much success with your patients!
i am so happy i found this video. i just got a running blade donated to me and have been figuring it out on my own. no therapists, no fancy gyms just me and my street. this video has certainly helped!!!
thank you!!
Thank you for this! I tried to run yesterday without instruction. It’s didn’t go well. I’m going to try this each day this week. I’ll share it on my channel for other amputees!
This is so much inspiring to me while using crutches.
Appriciated your Great Efforts
I wish I was closer to you. This way I ll try teaching myself running folowing your instructions. Great leason!
i wish you good luck!
Wow! Im a bk and would love to learn to run like that! Well done!!!
All I did was run before my car accident and just recently got an X3 .. I am beyond excited to get going again. I naturally just do the hop skip run but that is annoying and no where near the potential of what I have to offer. I can see some AK who run pretty smoothly and I know I can get there but re-training is frustrating, especially with no one on one help or area to really practice. I know I’ll get there as I’m extremely motivated to do this and I need that freedom of running back in my life. Thanks for this, I’ll keep working at it 💪🦿
So glad to be of assistance during this time. We recommend finding a physical therapist to provide the one on one help while learning this complex motor skill!
@@MissionGait much love 🤜🤛

It's so interesting paying close attention to the motions of a foot. Smart prosthetics would make a big difference. I assume it becomes easier like riding a bike ?
That practice floor surface, would give me alot of confidence, to learn something new, as l would feel, if l fell, it would be less damaging than a hard surface.
Interestingly, each of the rehabilitation units l have visited, for a fit, or a lesson, are too small in length to walk, this is as damaging as walking on the wrong foot.
That outcome can never be the best, the individual could achieve.
Going into rooms such as those, with that knowledge, empowers you, to ask more, and more questions, which may assist to a better mutual understanding, of what is really required.
(That crossover shoe is also a critical choice).
I hope to have my prosthetic in a few months, a month out from surgery for me.
How long u had ur pain dear ??
Am also preparing for amputation due to tumor on leg.. that's y i am.asking u
@@jobinkaruvelil Can't answer for him, but mine started to lessen by the time the sutures and staples came out, amputation (AKA) 7 July of this year, lessening since around 18 August.
Bad weather or high activity it still hurts at times, but no pain most of the time. Had my socket fitting today, leg comes in 9 November.
Prayers coming your way.
@@kevinfox500 Thank u so much dear for ur kind information...
@@kevinfox500 Hi, my brother had an accident last Saturday, it’s been 5 days and he started to walk with crutches. After your surgery, how long did it take for you to go on rehab/training? And also, how long does it take to get your prosthetic leg? Is it painful to wear a prosthetic leg? I am really worried about him.
Do people get the rigid big prosthetic at the hospital or like the one the guy in the video?
He had a 99% mortality accident, he was the 1%, he knows he had a second chance but I know he’ll feel frustrated the next months. The saddest thing, the accident wasn’t even his fault, it as a hit and run, he was on his way to work on his motorcycle.
Merry Christmas Eve.
@@DianaMartinez-eq5ns missed one.
Generally, the prosthetic toy are.aet.up with has a locking knee, left in the locked position until your therapist has worked with you, and feels.you are ready to learn how tonwalkneith it unlocked, on level ground. Your specialist will.set it up to be manually locked for uneven ground.
When you first ret it, it is set to locked, with a release, to unlock.it to sit. It is modified later to be set to lock or unlock, as desired.
I highly Appriciated yourexplaining
Awesome.....ill try this
Might be a stupid question but, what if there was a track above the patient and they were following it with their hand on a lead as they become more accustomed to the musculature necessary for running as well as give them freedom to take more chances as an education on what they can or should do without the lead in their hands? My theory is they will rely on the safety of the lead less and less as the become more motion confident, which help me in Breaking the Barrier of walking... less and less Reliance on assistance as the confidence developed.
I have been a amputee for 4 years and I'm just now in the beginning phases of learning to run wish I could've seen this video a long time ago
We are so glad you are watching our videos now!
what is the name of this knee joint?
I used to run on crutches using the hop skip method
Sensacional. Excelente fisioterapia.
In which country is this
What have you found to be the best suspension method for amputees to run in? I saw the second patient had a sleeve suspension and he seemed to be running pretty well. I am interested in like after 10 miles or longer distance how different suspension methods hold up. I was looking at the lady who ran the marathon des Sables and looked like she was running a pin suspension which according to textbooks can create more up and down movement in the socket. Just was hoping you would share your thoughts since you have a lot of experience. Also appreciate that running is an invaluable skill for amputees
I was born without my left foot and ankle so I've always been a BK, but next Monday I'm having an AKA done, how long does it generally take for someone to get to this point?
There are many factors that play into how long it would take. Examples include previous history of running, overall health and fitness, prosthetic fit, and many more. It does take a long time for most everyone. Even when things go well it can be 6 months or more before people are getting to the point of running.
Kindly display the price of above leg
What type of BK device is on his leg can I see how far it goes up and does he have a motor or whatever in the knee or ankle.
Think once I learn to trust the knee is there I’ll be good to go but not having the feeling there is still strange I guess
Is it available in india
Sir how can i acquire that kind of bka prosthesis? i used to walk with my prosthetic leg for more than 20 years but never run since my accident.
Is it easier to toppel someone over with a prosthetic.
How do you get your balance when your toes are removed on the right and you have a bka on left
Also what are your thoughts on Osseointegration and running? I’m seriously considering getting the surgery but am really on the fence as I am pretty active . I have been dealing with sockets for about 15 years now and honestly they suck lol. Osseointegration seems like an awesome idea at this point. Do you think it can handle running and jumping though? Would love your feedback!!
It is difficult to say what would be the best option for you without performing a proper evaluation. We recommend seeking advice from your physician to see what would be the best option for you. There is a long rehabilitation process involved with the healing of osseointegration (over a year!) and high impact activity, such as running and jumping, is not recommended during that time.
@@MissionGait thanks so much for your input and knowledge. I will definitely keep all of this in mind as I make a decision in the days or months to come. I’m In no serious rush to get Osseointegration but it definitely intrigue’s me . I plan on speaking with some of my doctors about run training as well (with my current socket setup)
All of the clinics I have been to in MN where I currently reside just simply do not have a proper area in size to get that nice training like you get in at your location. I’m sure there is somewhere around the metro and if so I will find it . If nothing else I’ll just have to learn in a park lot !
Sir where is prosthetic center and price please reply
Where from office pls
I am a amputee above my knee plus also I got blood clots on both my lungs.I was walking on a prosthetic leg four years but had to stop because of high blood pressure.would I be able to start walking again please.
Get healthy then probably
im 70 years old one leg one lung is there hope for me ?
Which knee joint is good for short stump above knee
Above knee leg price ?
Hi am from india above knee amputee of age 40 and weight 60 kg .which type of socket and knee joint is better for me .plz suggest me.
There are many things that could influence this decision. We can only suggest that you contact a local clinician that can provide an evaluation to help.
I'm a bilateral below knee amputee and I find it quite hard just to walk. Will I ever be able to run?
There are a lot of factors that determine someone's mobility potential. Unfortunately we can't provide insight for you as that is best done by a local physical therapist, requiring an examination of your current mobility and medical history.
Is anyone there to answer?
Hello, hope you are doing good. May I know can we able to run with any type of prosthetic above knee leg? Thanks in advance.
There are better prosthetic components for running, but these are often out-of-pocket as they differ from usual walking components. However, many prosthetic knees and feet are capable for use in running. It would be best to reach out to a prosthetist to learn more about a specific device.
What is the prosthetic knee name ?

I wish i could approach you!
Hello please can you add Arabic subtitles to all your video
Price plz.
We focus on education and research in rehabilitation. We do not provide prosthetic limbs and therefore cannot provide information on costs.
It's so much easier for a bk to run than an ak
Subtitulen en español!!
Recommendation: Please show the demonstrations first, then come back and talk about them as the explanations were too much before seeing the demonstrations; too much information before demonstrations. Great stuff thanks
Hii
Will you please STOP ✋ 🛑 talking long enough and these people demonstrate their walking 🚶♂️
