Considering your using none of your muscles in your foot like one would normally do when you're balancing on one leg, bouncing on your amputated leg is extremely impressive. Kudos, keep it up.

Even after nearly 49 years growing up with a fake leg, I still haven't managed to balance on the prosthetic side. On the other hand, I have a trick that can win me free beer. Hopping across a bar room with a pitcher of beer without spilling any beer. I find it odd that hops gives beer a nice bitter flavor, but hopping has no effect on the taste.
okay but not being able to feel the floor and not having muscles to move in your amputated leg makes it even more impressive that you can even balance on it at all.
I work as a paramedic, and I love the insight that you’ve given me to some of the patients I deal with. On a side note, I love the term meat leg. Almost spit out my coffee ☕️
Fun fact: the reason you can balance on your foot is mostly because of your big toe. If your big toe was gone, it would be close to impossible to balance. The fact that your missing an entire section of your leg and can still balance on that side is breathtaking and you should be proud! :)
You can even see the muscle difference, which I think is insanely cool. The fact that you can stand on the prosthetic AT ALL is insane to me. Keep up the good work! :)
Very impressive, I am still working on getting stronger on my prosthetic side. It really means the world to get back my life as it relates to activities. I am gonna have a comeback grass cutting season like no other. I still don't fathom that I had my amputation 18 months ago, Thank you for assisting me through my journey, Still more work to be done. Happy Holidays. Thank you Jo.
@@mikaelahills9860 Thank you so much. Today I had my amputation 2 years ago. The journey has been real. The comeback has been greater than the set back. Blessings...
After recently becoming a amputee in July this year. Watching these short videos gives me hope. That I will get back on track once I have my prosthetic
I came across your channel by recommendation. I've been developing a character who's an amputee, and by doing my digging, I came across your channel. I came for research, and I'm staying because of your amazing vibe. 💜
That’s what a lot of doctors and prosthetic working people call legs and arms. The meat arm, or meat hand, meat foot or meat leg lol. You hear it a lot as an amputee haha
I totally agree with you, I had heart failure at 11 days old. I ended up loosing my left limb and so I can relate alot! It's nice to have someone who understands lol
I know exactly what you mean. I had a childhood bone disorder that has left me with right leg damage and can't balance on it and stuff, Even though the problems and pain at times can be too much, I was blessed that I still have it and can walk around with not too much trouble.
Discovered your channel today only .it's a power pack of postivity, limitlessness , blah blah blah some other good stuffs😂 that i can't explain verbally . new subscriber from india❤️😊😊.
Haha if it makes you feel better, when I took anatomy - it is quite common for everyone to be quite unbalanced to this degree in a less dominant leg and those who are good on both are considered miraculous! I kinda feel like teaching kids to be ambidextrous in general would help a lot of joint issues later on but idk just a theory lol
My prosthetic guy says put the prosthetic leg into the pant leg from the BOTTOM, work it upwards, THEN put the prosthetic leg on the stump. It's MUCH easier that way, but no Capri pants for Richard!!
I used to teach balance to seniors. Here are some ideas: •keep core engaged •focus on something ahead that isn’t moving •keep breathing •a little practice goes a long way!
I do know what it's like to have unbalanced limbs. My right leg is alot weaker then my left leg because I may not have lost my leg but I did do trauma to my right leg, and there is metal in my leg. Good luck on your balance journey.
Stare at one spot on the floor don’t lose focus if you do choose another spot or recenter it’s a little shaky like the stronger leg I do that all the time :> cause my balance sucks
I remember when I broke my ankle last year and had both surgery and had to have that moonbot-thing and crutches for 6 weeks. Afterwards I was able to balance on my good leg for 5 min with closed eyes😅
It's so impressive how... Natural? The prosthetic looks, like obviously it doesn't look natural as in it looks like a human leg, but it looks so good and like it suits you (idk if that's weird to say I'm just impressed with technology and human adaptability)
I'm impressed by your balance on the prosthetic leg. I was born with a club foot, but thankfully after 3 reconstructive surgeries, I (mostly) have normal function of both legs, and I have much worse balance on my club foot leg (I call it my chicken leg cause it's so scrawny compared to my giant, muscular other side. 😂)
I think a decent portion of it doesn’t even come down to strength: it's sensation. If any two-leggers here have tried to walk on a foot with bad pins & needles, you'll know that not being able to feel your foot against the floor makes you a walking hazard 😂. Part of what helps us balance is the physical readings our feet tell us when we start to tilt a certain way. If you don’t have that, you don’t know you're tilting until you're half-way to the floor. So don't beat yourself up if your prosthetic is never a pillar of stability. You're damn stronger than 90% of us 😅
To be honest if you look closely at your legs the muscles in your regular leg are more defined I didn't know that until you mentioned it that you are a better balanced on your regular leg but that's really cool I hope it gets easier for you physical therapy is not easy
If you notice her right leg is more full and fits better in the pants, the muscles are more define, while the left leg is slimmer and less define. That was in our perspective the left leg is the prosthetic leg.

Indeed! I use my toes a lot to try and keep my balance!
I'm so jealous of your leg's strength, pistol squats are the bane of my existence.

@@greenlightxbpg I doubt they would care tho so just ignore them and report them
@@mynameis_________5875 ok ima do that
I can't even do normal squats...
Even after nearly 49 years growing up with a fake leg, I still haven't managed to balance on the prosthetic side.
On the other hand, I have a trick that can win me free beer. Hopping across a bar room with a pitcher of beer without spilling any beer.

lol the pun, actually I prefer non bitter beer :)
LOL!
okay but not being able to feel the floor and not having muscles to move in your amputated leg makes it even more impressive that you can even balance on it at all.
Gurll u have more balance in one leg than I have in two😂u are a legend and I cannot compete
impressive you can bend all the way down and back up on any leg!!
I work as a paramedic, and I love the insight that you’ve given me to some of the patients I deal with. On a side note, I love the term meat leg. Almost spit out my coffee ☕️
the fact that she did a pistol squat, in jeans, holding a drink 😳 pure strength

It just takes time, but you can do it.
I absolutely love your shorts
I came across your channel by recommendation. I've been developing a character who's an amputee, and by doing my digging, I came across your channel. I came for research, and I'm staying because of your amazing vibe. 💜
I would love to read your story/.book! Maybe your story will help my amputee daughter!!!!
Some people are not blessed to have a prosthetic but you have one have a blessed and glorious life I know you never forget that
You always make me smile 😊
You are so freaking rad! And I insanely dig that sweater!
thank you for the subtitles as well!
Your balance is absolutely amazing! Also meat leg made me laugh so hard 🤣
What you're doing is badass. Props for being awesome.
I love how you call your real leg your “meat leg”! That’s awesome!
That’s what a lot of doctors and prosthetic working people call legs and arms. The meat arm, or meat hand, meat foot or meat leg lol. You hear it a lot as an amputee haha
this made me smile!
WOW..... that's amazing. Keep working on it girl.
Good job love your videos
Adore the positivity
I have the same balance on my regular legs when I try to stand on one foot the same way she tries to stand on her prosthetic 🤯
I totally agree with you, I had heart failure at 11 days old. I ended up loosing my left limb and so I can relate alot! It's nice to have someone who understands lol
Motivation for others...
Hats off... 😊
I know exactly what you mean. I had a childhood bone disorder that has left me with right leg damage and can't balance on it and stuff, Even though the problems and pain at times can be too much, I was blessed that I still have it and can walk around with not too much trouble.
That is a not half-bad roundhouse kick. I love it.
Amazing stuff!
that is really really good balance I'm impressed
Discovered your channel today only .it's a power pack of postivity, limitlessness , blah blah blah some other good stuffs😂 that i can't explain verbally . new subscriber from india❤️😊😊.
Also, a lot of balancing works with how your foot kinda curls around to stabalize the body, so the fact you can do what you do is neat
Wow, you’re really good at that! I’m not an amputee, but you’re much better at balancing than I am, and I’m admittedly not too bad! 😯
Keep positive.
props to you for risking to spill your coffee/whatever was in that mug
Not amputated but I have surgery and recovering.
The pistol squats are on point. I thought I was the only one that weirdly do that on the better leg ™
She is such an amazing woman
Wow, that’s great! Also you are so pretty today and always! Lots of love! ❤️
She is gorgeous everyday! I agree!!!! She is so damn optimistic as cheerful. I love her.
Wow. That pistol squat right outta nowhere. I can't do that shit lol
I too had knee injury and after that my right leg doesn't serve me that well. But i am still very proud of my left leg, it's a super hero
Man I dearly love your video's.
Hang I there and GOD BLESS
And without spilling a drop of coffee. Way to go girl!
When you pointed to your other side I could see the difference, my balance is currently horrible and going up stairs is like a newborn lamb
MEAT LEG, I have come to love your videos! Keep making them!
You actually have better balance on your prosthetic than I do on my real legs.
“Meat leg” was not a phrase I expected to hear today, but here we are.
On another note, this is really cool!
That last spin was actually ridiculous
Haha if it makes you feel better, when I took anatomy - it is quite common for everyone to be quite unbalanced to this degree in a less dominant leg and those who are good on both are considered miraculous! I kinda feel like teaching kids to be ambidextrous in general would help a lot of joint issues later on but idk just a theory lol
Honestly I'm just as impressed that you didn't spill your drink as I am your balancing!
Nice spin Jo! Hope you're doing well 😁👍💚
💘 to learn what excersises & machines could build up your amputated leg! Video please!!
Off topic but getting jeans on your prosthetic leg must be a whole battle field.
My prosthetic guy says put the prosthetic leg into the pant leg from the BOTTOM, work it upwards, THEN put the prosthetic leg on the stump. It's MUCH easier that way, but no Capri pants for Richard!!
She’s just spectacular
I’ve been dealing with severe foot issues the last few years and my balance sucks. What kind of exercises do you do to help with these muscles?
That balance on the prosthetic was actually impressive as hell lol
Your stunning jo always an interesting video love you so much jo
I used to teach balance to seniors. Here are some ideas:
•keep core engaged
•focus on something ahead that isn’t moving
•keep breathing
•a little practice goes a long way!
You're amazing ❤️❤️❤️
You're truly amazing and insirping! Alao, yellow looks amazing on you. 😍❤🇦🇺
You're so cool. I wish I had your confidence.
The balance she had on her prosthetic is the balance I have on either side (I’m not even an amputee, I just suck at balancing)
I do know what it's like to have unbalanced limbs. My right leg is alot weaker then my left leg because I may not have lost my leg but I did do trauma to my right leg, and there is metal in my leg. Good luck on your balance journey.
The pistol squat is amazing…
“MY MEAT LEG” 🤣 AHHHHH
Yep I have the exact same thing with my balance and my prosthetic
Proud of what u do my beautiful sister
imo that's goddamn impressive! i can barely balance on my legs!
Very impressed that you didn't spill any of your coffee 😂
That's impressive.
I love how she is showing her prosthetic leg by having the pants pulled up a little bit 😊
I can’t focus on anything other than that coffee ☕️ cup swinging around! 😳
I'm very surprised and proud that you did that without spilling your coffee

You're stronger on one leg than I am on two 😂❤️
Yes and now were pros at hopping on one foot
She's blessed
Oh shit that's impressive
I love how she says meat leg...I wish I could learn some of her positivity man
Nice job girl.

You are amazing
Your balance on one leg is better than mine on both legs. 🤣
My balance is so bad, watching you almost made me fall down. From my chair.
My stress when I thought your cup was full haha
Man your leg is buff
To be honest if you look closely at your legs the muscles in your regular leg are more defined I didn't know that until you mentioned it that you are a better balanced on your regular leg but that's really cool I hope it gets easier for you physical therapy is not easy
Graceful like bee 😍🌹
Lift side = Ladybug
Right = Marinette
u r incredible 😍
I think you're great! :)
That's kickass that you can do that but... what about zombie? What's your plan for when the zombies show up? Lol
Meat leg🦵 vs prosthetic leg🦿 cracked me up, it caught me off guard.
Me: Did she say "meat leg"?
*rewinds*
SHE SAID MEAT LEG!
LMAO
It’s said a lot in the amputee world lol. Lots of us call it “the meat foot” “the meat arm” “the meat leg” lol
If you notice her right leg is more full and fits better in the pants, the muscles are more define, while the left leg is slimmer and less define.
That was in our perspective the left leg is the prosthetic leg.
That pistol squat cleaner than soap
