Prosthetics can be expensive, but some of those costs may count toward your medical tax deduction. Here's what prosthetic users should know before filing: zurl.co/qr2KD #amputeestore #amputeelife #taxtips

Prosthetic arms and hands are typically connected to a user with electrodes that can short out or disconnect with everyday use. So researchers are developing optical sensors to make stronger, better, more comfortably-fitting prosthetics. spectrum.ieee.org/prosthetic…
We have so many examples of patients using their prostheses successfully at work – but here are three individuals who find their devices invaluable:

Brittany Apgar was born with a limb difference, but she's never let that stop her.
This week on the WPBL Podcast Britt talked with Ashton about being pushed out of baseball, fighting her way back, and how excited she is to be a part of WPBL Los Angeles for the inaugural season of the league.

When we fit our patients with a device, we don’t just send them out the door. We work with them on the tasks that are relevant to their daily life, to both teach them how to do those things and to see how they are doing with their prosthesis. Learn more:

For 40 years after his leg amputation, Richard Wiens lived with severe neuroma pain. But at 80, a 20-min cryoablation procedure gave him more than a year without pain. Learn more about what cryoablation can and can't do for neuroma pain. zurl.co/FKoLS #amputeestore

Prostheses for toddlers are the cutest. We painted the frame for this one blue – the little guy’s favorite color.

Today, we would like to honor the bravery and sacrifice of our first responders, military, and those affected by the attacks.
David Charbonnet felt a deep sense of duty after the events of 9/11 and decided to enlist in the Navy, becoming a member of Seal Team 1 like his father. Unfortunately, his parachute malfunctioned about a hundred feet from the ground and he became paralyzed from the waist down.
After a lengthy recovery, David got back to kayaking in a different way, and is now hoping to qualify for the 2028 Paralympic Games.
You can hear more about him in a story that aired earlier this year on ABC News at bit.ly/CAFdavid

A limb difference is a limb difference – but each of our patients is an individual, so regardless of whether they have a congenital difference or an amputation, we’re going to fit them as an individual.
