I've been waiting for this video! This stuff really geeks me out both as an engineer and amputee peer. -Avelino

[@AmputeeOT]

I'll have even more prosthetic geekery later! Like a more in-depth explanation of how stuff works.

[@nastyVtwin]

@@AmputeeOT Cool! Your older BK videos helped me quite a bit when I was still waiting for my leg and recuperating from my amputation. These newer AK videos about your prosthesis will help many people out there!

[@linvictor99]

I am a prosthetist. I like your Chanel and learn from you.
You did a good job describing the components.

[@rogerbrinker420]

Your balance is awesome even without the prosthetic

[@asjamias]

does the willowwood limblogic vacuum work even when you walk and feel like your losing suction?

[@AmputeeOT]

Hmmm I’m not really sure how to answer this. If I lose suction the pump turns on. But there has to be a seal for the vacuum to work properly, otherwise it will tell me (via the app) that it detects a leak

I am a physically healthy man, but i am mentally weak and sit at home for years. I have alredy died for society and i continue to die for myself without leaving home. And you are a strong and beautiful woman,Christina. If something like this happened to me, i would hand myself because of my worthlessnes, and you live a full life, i admire, Christina.

[@tropang_Alaga]

is that a water resistant maam?

[@ampguy123]

When are you building your next LEGO leg?!?

[@carlweiss8942]

t thank you so much.you helped with my bk and now you help with my ak, you didn't have the velcro socket or a pin socket, why? the journey has been better

[@jeremycard2592]

Was wondering how much you like your willow wood pump? I have a smart pick and is very glitchy.

[@19irving]

Hey, did you get that little blue chest furniture thing at Target? If so, is it any good because I was thinking of buying it. Thanks for your input on furniture, fake legs and everything else!

[@AmputeeOT]

I got it from Weekends Only Furniture Outlet. Having said that, it's pretty good! It has a spot in the back where there's USB outlets and plugs. I wish they had made that area deeper because a lot of my AC adapters I wanted to put in there didn't fit.

[@kellymccauley5368]

It looks like your prosthetic knee is a couple of inches higher than your natural knee - is that so? Is that an issue for setting up a prosthesis?

[@danielrios1757]

OoowooO.. Que práctica, qué eres.! Genial.!!

[@jaybohnsack7159]

Party tricks , love it

[@PIYEISOKUIKI2021]

Women strong, god bless you

[@jdzencelowcz]

I'd think you'd need less tech for a leg than U would for a hand, but that's pretty on par.

[@celestinoybarra3057]

Spiffy leg, I love it.

[@jaybohnsack7159]

That leg is very advanced , I just have the basic

[@adnanshah6019]

Very good

[@avrumflisfeder4775]

You are looking more beautiful tah ever.Love the make up and love yur beasutiful eyes,Avrum

[@MohamedMohamed-nn1bi]

How much?

[@AmputeeOT]

$89,000

[@MohamedMohamed-nn1bi]

@@AmputeeOT Genium X3?

[@AmputeeOT]

That’s the cost of the entire leg. I don’t know what the individual parts cost.

[@MohamedMohamed-nn1bi]

@@AmputeeOTI know but these is genuine x3 ? Or not or c leg?

[@MohamedMohamed-nn1bi]

@@AmputeeOT what name knee? Because I need one?

[@Johanna.EG.]

Is it feeling more comfortable lately?

[@otisreynolds1984]

That has got to be an unrsal transition from minus a foot to virtually missing your whole leg

[@thatsjennifer2u]

If I were to ask my prosthesis guy about this, exactly what would I ask for?

[@AmputeeOT]

I’m not totally sure what you mean, can you elaborate?

[@thatsjennifer2u]

@@AmputeeOT My own leg doesn't have the ankle, knee, or vacuum pump that yours has (it's very basic). How would I go about getting these features?

[@AmputeeOT]

You would have to talk to your prosthetist about them. They would need to ensure it’s appropriate for your needs.

[@AmputeeOT]

You could show him my video and tell him that you want a system like mine.

[@thatsjennifer2u]

@@AmputeeOT thank you for the advice. Will do

[@19irving]

Of course, my comments are always totally different than anyone else's. Go figure.
