Everyone can see this site

Nice to meet you.

My name is Ishikawa and I run an artificial limb walker.

This site was launched for the purpose of exchanging information and interacting with amputees and other medical professionals involved in it.

Also, from the standpoint of being an amputee and a prosthesis user, I will tell you about prostheses and rehabilitation, sensitive issues peculiar to amputees, and matters related to life through the blog.

For information exchange and exchange, please use the forum page.

We would be grateful if you could contact us via the comments on our blog and SNS, and the inquiry form.

▶ If you are new to the blog, please read it.

Welcome to the world of artificial limbs.

Eyes to see the amputee

I am the ultimate ultra-short amputated person

Still walking with artificial limbs

After that, I couldn't give up walking all the time, and in the summer of 2018, I acquired artificial limb walking after about 8 months of rehabilitation.

Of all the thigh prosthesis users, I'm probably the only one walking on the condition of the ultimate ultra-short stump.

I want as many people as possible to see it and know that the action that seems to be taken for granted, "walking," enriches life.

And the purpose is to reach as many amputees as possible who want to walk through this site.

I had a car accident when I was 16 years old.

I was able to walk normally until I had an accident. Until then, I had lived without being aware of the series of movements of "walking," but due to an accident, I cut off my legs from the part near the base.

The right foot was 11 cm and the left foot was 5 cm, leaving only the length of the thumb.

After being discharged from the hospital, I was rehabilitated to walk with an artificial limb, but the rehabilitation doctor, physiotherapist, and prosthetist who were in charge of me at that time seemed to have little knowledge of the artificial limb and were looking for it in the dark.
My desire to walk did not come true, and I ended up frustrating rehabilitation in about two years.
