Bilateral L/E running

Steve Scott

Hi All,

I’m currently working with a 19yo individual with bilateral (Long AK &
short BK) amputations who wants to start running and was wondering what
experiences others on this list have had with situations like this.
What feet and feet/knee combinations have performed well and what
modifications are needed to be made to socket shape/design and knee
units to offer this individual the best opportunity to run again.

He’s also 6’1″ tall, though being bilateral there’s flexibility with
that, and around 160lbs.

I look forward to your responses.

Cheers,

Steve Scott, C.P.(c)
