The web site for Dr Branemark's manufacturer, Integrum
<URL Redacted> , has added a video clip of two AK amputees walking
on their prostheses. I found myself surprised that the gait of these two
amputees was not much different from that of an amputee wearing a
conventional prosthesis. Apparently the missing musculature has a more
profound effect than I had believed, and limb-to-socket instability has
less. To view the video, go to the web site, click on the link Patient
information, and then the link to the video. I would be most interested
in others prosthetists reaction to viewing this clip.
