How Many Prosthetics Do Amputees Need?? *The Reality of Amputee Prosthetics*

Another older video from Jo, which turned up after I rewatched that other one in a recent self-reblog.

Yeah, this is why I was so relieved to find out recently that here the system will apparently cover more than one full leg setup at a time, for different use cases, without any actual fighting required. (Plus evidently a swim fin foot, if I do end up wanting one.) And the prosthetist sounded like this was just a given. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Because different hardware is good for different uses, and a lot of the time pennypinching insurance companies and some other single-payer systems will only let you have one every few years. If you need more than one setup, you'd better make do with an old one that may be worn out and/or "just" not fit right anymore--or you'd better find some kind of grant or charity willing to fund something newer.

And we are talking about something roughly on par with a car in the US. So you can walk around. The special socks and stuff that you'd already have to use with a second prosthetic really ain't gonna account for that much of the cost estimate.

Doohan or Hadjar?
