How an amputee benefited from CI Walking instruction
"I am an AKA (above knee amputee). I have been doing your walking program on a daily basis for a couple of months, and can't believe how well it works! People who don't know can't tell I am an AKA anymore. Before practicing your method I did the 'pirate peg leg' walk, like all other amputees. My walking was so restricted. I had to use wheel chairs at airports. Not any more! I've been telling more people about your walking CD. and DVD."
Thank you! -Mark Salmon (MA)
