- I haven't uploaded anything in years, so this is an update on how I walk recently. Obviously the audio is terrible, but it's not too important. Mastering prosthetic gait is always a work in progress. There's plenty to pick apart here, but I'm grateful to walk the way I do.
Socket: Baylor Socket (a socket style I co-invented)
Hip: Helix 7E10 (Ottobock)
Heavy-duty thigh connectors: 4R156, 4R156=2 (Ottobock)
Rotator: 4R57 (Ottobock)
Knee: C-leg 4 (Ottobock)
Foot: Allpro 6" (Fillauer)
You have the best movement of any hip I’ve ever seen! I’m blown away man. Good stuff, keep pushing your legs to help newer amputees have better legs!
Absolutely inspiring. I’ve recently had hip disarticulation and this has spurred me on no end. Thank you for sharing
Great walking and demo Chandler.
I owe you a lot, your videos inspired me to do better
Your gait is so good it’s hard to believe you have a hip disarticulation
Greeting from hip amputee from indonesia Brother
dude, this is incredible!! I'm an HD also. I want a prosthetic that works as well as your setup and that doesn't hurt my back to use.
Thank u so much for given me hope⚡️
Wow, looks really encouraging!
inspiring stuff seeing you walk so good. im about to lose my leg to cancer . seeing this video gives me some hope about my future. can i buy this setup living in canada ?
Absolutely! Some of the pioneering innovations for hips were made in Canada, and Canadians always provide very good care.
Hey chandler, I lost my left leg basically at the hip in 2011 from a car accident. I have 3 inches of femur bone so my limb really serves no purpose so I wear an interface that a Hip would wear. I watched your videos every day in the hospital when you were posting years ago, and recently just wondered if you had any new ones and I found this! I'm on my second prosthetic now, I started with the C-leg with a helix hip with a rotator at the ankle. Currently I have the Endolite linx with a helix hip and a carbon bikini interface. I walk the best I ever have but with my height and how big the foot is on the linx I could not have that rotator at the ankle anymore. I am in hopes that my office will try my insurance for the Genium X3. They are hesitant because it sounds like when they do get approved, which is rare, they don't turn much profit. I walk the best, i have a very physical warehouse job, I am around water as a boat owner, and just live a physical life. Especially being married with 2 young kids lol. I am very interested in the benefits of the high back interface you have on. I went to the bikin for flexibility, but im very curious to the benefits of your? Also I am sorry for the long message, I never thought I'd get a chance to reach out let alone ask advice. Thanks for sharing and being an inspiration
I got denied on an X3 right before my first baby was born. Insurance is a joke. Even as a prosthetist, it's hard to get things approved at all. Glad you're using your leg and getting after it!
I explain the high back benefits in a comment reply below. Let me know if it's unclear.
@@chajabalk thanks for the reply. I'm currently in the process of getting a new bikini socket and a genium. The step counter In my endolite linx has recorded 6million 2hundred thousand steps in 2 years. Seems to be pretty worn out so were hoping the genium hold up with my lifestyle
I`m a hip disarticulated prosthetic user for 1 year now and I have tried all the ottobock knee`s. I went for the C- leg as it is the best and lightest of the Genium and C- leg. I found that weight is importen when you are hip disarticulated. The genium x3 is 500g heavier than the c- leg and it also have several modes that will not be to my benefit when hip articulated. This is just my opinion so it might be working different to other hip disarticulated.
Very inspiring...me too hip disarticulated dew to cancer since 2017... Till now no such prosthetic...much love
how are yo doing ? i am about to lose my leg to cancer as well. very tough times. hope you are doing better . love to chat with you .

PROSTHETIC LAGAUNU VAYO?
Hey brother congratulations to you, i was wondering if you had any advice on wat i should do , i had my lower right leg amputated due a doctor with little experience and had my hip socket removed and I'd really love to walk again any advice
My mom just had a hip disarticulation this past Tuesday. Can you offer any insight/wisdom to a new amputee? Best way/position herself to be comfortable while sleeping? Best pillows/wedges?How you prevent pressure wounds? Best prosthetics and ones that are hard to use and should be avoided? Anything we can glean from you would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
best advice I can offer is to get really really strong. Get good on crutches, get good balancing on one foot. All other problems fade as you get strong. Don't wait for a prosthesis to begin trying. You must already be strong in order to learn to walk with a prosthesis.
comfortable? you for the response. I truly appreciate it. Sadly, after being in ICU for 60 days prior to the HD... she has become very weak so she definitely has a long road ahead to rebuilding strength. What helps the most avoiding pressure wounds/bed sores? Did you experience any of this? If so, do you have any favorite pillows, wedges, etc. that made things better?
I didn't really face those issues as a 16-year-old, so I don't really have any answers for you there. If you're motivating a family member, you must plant in their head a reason to get strong. A future wedding, a vacation, grandchildren? Anything like that helps tremendously as people get stronger @@4H1M-dt6br

it is best hip disartiaulation i also seen
Hi, hip disarticulated here also, i have been walking for more than 25 years with a mechanical knee because of insurance not helping out, but now they do finally. I just saw your walking and tbh i couldn't even dream of walking like that, YOU R AWESOME. Here in belgium i only know the Cleg and the helix hip joint from ottobock, not sure about that. Also your socket is looking very cumy, mine is hard casket. Is it possible to see a short clip off the socket please?
This is great what country is this company from?
I want to walk well like you.
When walking, do you use the pelvis or the ankle force?
Fantastiskt! Did you learn this by yourself or have you been working with professional instructors?
I worked with great physical therapists over the years who taught me well, and I am now a professional prosthetist, so I have been practicing and trying to improve all the time through my ongoing learning and work.
@@chajabalk I would love to come in Contact with someone who could teach me how to walk. I have the same protheses as you. Do you have anyone you could recomend? I could send you my email if that is easier?
Man, hi! I admire your walking. I also have disarticulation. For a long time I walked with a very cheap prosthesis. Recently I got more expensive. 7E9 hip, 3R60 knee, foot 1C30. What can you say about this configuration? And do you think it’s possible to walk at least approximately and go down the stairs with this configuration? Sorry for my English and good luck to you.
That configuration sounds great. It's possible to walk very well with that configuration, but going down stairs won't be this smooth. I used to use that knee and I can go down stairs, but it's going to be a fast, uncontrolled drop down to the next step.
@@chajabalk Thanks man, I'll train. You showed that nothing is impossible. Good luck!
Hello Friend. You couldn't do that. How did you make the waist fastener?
Please how can I get to know more about the company I need one for myself
My daughter has the same ottobock leg. She still learning how to use it. How long did it take you walk in it?
I walked on a mechanical knee for a few months, then eventually switched over to the C-leg. That transition took a few months to get the hang of things.
Price for this type of prosthetic and how to buy it ?
Hello, could you please tell me if i can contect you for my condition? I'm so hopeless. Doctors say I can't get prosthesis with this lost pelvis!
Hello, could you make a video showing how your socket is?
How much its Cost? I am same patient as like You Sir, Could you please tell me the approx cost of it and source of this?
Здравствуй друг . Ты не мог продемонстрировать . Как у тебя сделано крепление на талии ?!
Please I like to have one of this
Chandler my husband is hip disarticulated as well. He just got his prosthetic a few weeks ago and has started PT. Do you use shorts or Speedo under your prosthetic? My husband needs someone to talk with and ask questions.
Most people use a hip sock made by knitrite (your prosthetist will know). I use sewn lycra shorts similar to underarmour. Find hip disartic groups on Facebook (request an invite) and many people can help you, myself included.
I live in India
I don't have a leg from the waist
Another leg did not grow from the knee
I have this defect since birth
So is there any way to get a prosthetic leg?
Really !may I know the mail I’d to connect and it’s cost
how can we contact you for prosthetic leg??? I need one for my father., due to malignancy he lost his left leg(hip disarticulation).
pls help
Hi Chandler, i have watched your videos for years and they are truly inspirational. You are amazing. I live in Australia. I have my left leg amputated at hip. I have similar prosthesis to you with a helix hip and genium x3 knee joint, I have only had the limb for 2months. I like your socket and was interested to know more about it as I am trying to improve mine. I could send you my email. I would love to hear back. Regards, Vish
The Genium X3 is pretty great. My insurance denied it for me and I am still bitter. I have info on the socket, and I'm happy to share.
Thank you so much for getting back to me. I will write to you on your work email if that’s ok, that way, our details are not in the public domain.
@@vishalsharma2521 yeah perfect
This is great, who made your leg? I'm a hip disartic also. Location: Mobile, Al.
Actually, I made my leg! I am a prosthetist in Raleigh, NC.
@@chajabalk OH wow, how many hip disartic legs have you made? You have a great walking ability.
@@Floyd12345 I wish I could say I've done hundreds, but I have been lucky to help on many and do a few myself.
Isn't that painful, how many hours can you walk as such ! Thank you any way
Some days are painful, some are painless, but most are quite doable.
走的很好，我和你一样，我也是HIP AMPUTEE，BECAUSE BONE CANCER。
你好，好久没有跟你说话！很久以前我们俩订下个目标在国内里爬山，你还记得吗？
Could someone who had an hemipelvectomy use this type of prosthetic ? Thanks
Hemis get unfairly lumped in with hip disartics. Yes, much of the parts and pieces of the prosthesis would be the same, but it is fundamentally harder to walk without half your pelvis.
Hey, just wondering, what’s the advantage to the higher back socket you have here over the conventional design?
It makes walking far easier because it allows the keel of the foot to passively load into late stance and explosively leave the ground without me having to put in extra work to walk. I have trimmed it down in the past and walking became far more energy-consuming.
Thanks. And it’s still somewhat comfortable, or at least tolerable to wear all day?
@@Mike-mj2pm I'm pretty used to it, but yeah feels normal
What Price
Hello please tell me cost of the leg
depends on too many factors. $50-$100K in the US
