Huge Improvements

I am once again in PT but this time at Riverview in Yarmouth and I work with a therapist named Nat. I am making so much progress. I now don't even use a walking stick in therapy anymore! In fact I walk better without any sticking stick or cane! I have Nat to thank for that. I walk now moving my arms and shoulders with a slight twist at the hips; the way normal people walk. I no longer have a dip on my artificial leg side. My gate and flow have improved dramaticlly. Today I walk within an 18 inch barrier without circumducting my artificial leg! I also use my residual limb to help me sit and get up from a chair which gives my real leg a break! Atlantic ProCare and Dr. Fox have seen and love my improvement. Not only that, now I can squat down with both knees and touch the floor and get back up without falling!!!!!!!!
