Kevin D.

Unilateral Hip Disarticulation

In 1974, Kevin was diagnosed with bone cancer in his leg.  He was 5-years old at the time of his amputation surgery, which was the standard treatment at that time.  From that point on, he grew up wearing a prosthesis.

 

"With very few exceptions, there is nothing you will be prevented from doing.  You may not do it the same as everyone else does, but if you want to do something, you'll find a way to do it."

A giant Step for Tony, with the help of a good therapist and a bionic knee

Commentary by Dan Rodricks 

The following spring, Gerst received his first above-knee prosthesis and started working with Jamin, an amputee specialist, in a room at Real Life Prosthetics in Abingdon.

With regular therapy, he made progress and was ready to go bionic by fall. The prosthetists at Real Life outfitted him with a Power Knee just before Christmas. They also gave him a microprocessor-controlled ankle.

The manufacturer of both devices is Ossur, a longtime prosthetics developer based in Iceland. Its website says the Power Knee “helps fill the absence of muscle power.” Gerst finds it particularly helpful when he needs to rise from a chair. He works with Jamin on that during therapy sessions.

Where Art and Science Meet

by Tony Roberts 

Joanne Presbury of Bel Air is a three-year amputee.  After Pressbury, 62, lost her leg to diabetes, her physical therapist referred her to Real LIfe Prosthetics for a replacement, she said.  Presbury lost all but one of her toes on her right foot, and lost her left leg up to her knee.  She not only found a place that got her to walk like she never lost a leg, but a company that cared about what she wants, she said.
