The Kiwi, New Zealand’s famed flightless bird, walks
around all day. Since he wants amputees likewise to be able to walk
around all day, Wallis W.T. Farraday, CP, who also is from New
Zealand, decided to name his innovative immediate postoperative
prosthesis (IPOP) the “Kiwi.” Although he originated the idea,
Farraday is quick to note that many others have helped in its
development.
