Amputee Life Blog

During a run, you want your complete focus on your performance, so you wouldn’t want anything to hinder you from giving it your all. Another essential component of your prosthetic running system is the suspension. And the only way to ensure optimal performance is to select a secure suspension system that fits you well.

Each component of a prosthetic running leg contributes to your overall performance as an amputee runner. A prosthetic running knee offers strong rotation hydraulics allowing it to maintain the same high stride rates as your sound side. The faster you run, the higher your stride rate, and the more your prosthetic running knee has to work to keep up.

An amputee survival kit is your collection of products and tools that keep you comfortable and mobile. It should also be easy to carry around since you can’t afford to be caught empty-handed in a prosthetic emergency.

Getting the right running foot that fits your needs, as well as the requirements of the sport, is important. 

There are several running feet available for different types of running, such as distance running and sprinting. So, you need to be clear on which category of running you want to do.

We all need someone to look up to and learn from, especially when we are trying to achieve something challenging. When it comes to sports, especially para-athletics, inspiration, and role models can help motivate us to keep pushing forward.
