“Three years ago I had both legs amputated below the knee. Prior to this I was very active. One of my hobbies was bellringing and I was determined to carry on with this. Without my prosthetics and prosthetist I would not be able to do this or a lot of the other things I do.” 🔔🦿

Before amputation, life was active and full. After amputation, the determination did not disappear. It focused.

Returning to bellringing was not just about a hobby. It was about identity, rhythm, purpose, and community. 🎶💙

With the right prosthetics and the expertise of a skilled prosthetist, independence becomes possible again. Not only for the big milestones, but for the everyday passions that make life meaningful. ✨

Prosthetic and orthotic services restore more than mobility. They restore continuity, confidence, and connection. 🙌

Ethics Reference: 02_2026

Your professional input would be greatly appreciated and will contribute to improving understanding of AFO prescription and clinical decision-making.
