I have a recent unilateral TT amputee has returned to normal, unassisted ambulation as rapidly as any individual I have ever worked with. He is a very active 60-year-old gentleman who was a collegiate hockey player and would like to return to ice skating (although probably not to hockey as he believes his wife's reaction to that might be fatal). I would be interested in any input from members of the list who have worked with clients who skate or who are amputee skaters themselves. If there are any tips or tricks that might make his return to skating easier, please pass them a long. My client has no other medical complications and is in excellent physical condition.
