Charlie has been a POA kid since he was five years old! 💕 Now, at age 13, he is ready for adult size knees and feet. Charlie “grew” over 4 inches last week and went from a size 4 kid’s to a 8.5 men’s shoe size - quite a change! As he learned to walk on the new components, his posture and gait began to improve. We also swapped Charlie’s kid’s size running blade for an adult size. He loved the increased amount of bounce he got. “I can jump way higher in these,” he said, and then demonstrated some of his moves! 🔥 Charlie, who is on his school’s golf team, tried his new prostheses out at the golf course. He said that the new knees make it easier for him to stabilize while hitting the ball. He also discovered that his golf clubs will need to be fit with longer shafts! 😂🦿🦿
