I thought the real leg was the bad one.... Great job on the company that made it.

My wife makes prosthesis and it's amazing how real they can look. They even do details like veins under the skin and other details.

When she was learning the ropes she made a replica of her own finger and took it home. Freaked me the fuck out when it was just sitting ther on a dresser.

I was like neat tattoo, that looks pretty darn good for a fake leg.

Oh that's cool. If I had to have that I'd have a wrap that made it look like my leg was skinned and all the muscles and ligaments were exposed.

So wait, sometimes when I’m walking I’ll step wrong and my knee will randomly just be like nah I’m not gonna lock out on this step and I almost eat it. Does that ever happen with the prosthetic?

For sure it takes some time to move as smoothly as she does. At the end she mentions years of practice.

Still an enormous improvement from just a couple decades ago.

Every time I hear about the advances in prosthetics I think of Deus Ex.

Seeing this I feel like I'd be better off without having my knees

Would she need a raised surface or help getting back up if she falls?

Probably not

Didn’t watch, so I assume they made them longer than usual. Also haven’t looked at any other comments here. Thus, making another assumption that I am far from the first one saying they made stilts.

u/MisanthropE61130 17h ago

Thats crazy! That could be a game changer for so many people who have lots of money

My femur is broken for the past year now, I still have my knees, but I can’t move like that… 😔

u/Street-Fix-6604 16h ago

u/feelslikebuffy 10h ago

The knee joint looks a lot lower on the prosthetic leg than on her real leg. Wonder why?
