A Spring In His Step: Rediscovering Favorite Hobbies with a Prosthetic Device Russell (not his real name) had been an avid hiker since high school. But when a car accident in college required an amputation to his left leg, he wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to hike again, even with a prosthesis. Russell (not his real name) had been an avid hiker since high school. But when a car accident in college required an amputation to his left leg, he wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to hike again, even with a prosthesis. Russell didn’t know that a wide range of prosthetic devices are available, including several models designed with active individuals in mind. Microprocessor-controlled devices provide additional stability and support to the foot and/or knee joints, making it easier for him to hike over more difficult terrain. All Russell was missing was the right prosthesis for his needs. After a comprehensive assessment, we fixed him up with a motorized prosthetic leg that actively assisted all his recreational activities — including hiking.
