https://www.pffd.org/blog/156 If you are new to PFFD - I recommend starting with the PFFD book en https://www.pffd.org/node/162 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>My daughter was born without her right thigh bone and only 1 of the 2 lower leg bones. At 8 months, she went through a Boyd amputation of the small deformed foot on her short right leg. She was fitted with her first prosthesis around her 1st birthday and started walking at about 22 months. She is active and has few if any limitations. We are currently going through physical therapy for the first time to smooth out her walk. Her therapist has instructed her to use a cane in order to assist her in learning how to walk correctly. We would love to hear from anyone with a similar situation.</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 13 Dec 2005 06:31:43 +0000 lovnlivnnalaska 162 at https://www.pffd.org https://www.pffd.org/node/162#comments
