📰 "This New Bionic Knee Is Changing the Game for Lower Leg Amputees"

🗒 "In tests of walking up and down stairs, as well as avoiding obstacles while walking, the three-later prosthetic performed substantially better. It also scored higher in patients’ perceptions of whether the object was part of their body or just a tool, known as embodiment."

People like this is why I don't like answering this question anymore lol.
Also what a wild thing to just randomly say to someone in line at the vet clinic on a Monday morning? Hey your whole life is a lie, your amputation you've had since your a baby was just part of a conspiracy. K'ay bye!

My sister and I have a pretty good relationship, don't worry, we just liked messing with each-other as kids.
(There seems to be an issue with the alt-text for the comic, so I'm going to have post that below! Sorry!)

I went to the clinic today to get some bloodwork done. As the phlebotomist prepped the vials, I asked her how they draw blood from amputees with no arms. This boggled her. She said she had no idea, but guessed they'd have to get it done at a hospital where maybe the blood would be drawn from a leg. #phlebotomist #amputee #blood

The 2025 World Press Photo of the Year has been awarded to Samar Abu Elouf, a Doha-based Palestinian photographer, for her poignant image of Mahmoud Ajjour, a young boy severely injured while fleeing an Israeli attack in Gaza.

Captured for The New York Times newspaper, the photograph powerfully conveys Mahmoud’s suffering and resilience after an explosion in March last year left one of his arms severed and the other mutilated.

🚨 PSA - Shoe services for amputees & peeps with mis-matched feet 🚨

For individuals who only need one shoe, there are many organizations that accept donations of single shoes in good condition and/or may be able to assist in locating single shoes.

There are also retailers that offer single shoes (or pairs of different sizes) for sale or for significant discount.

And if you have (athletic) shoes too worn out to donate?

"Nike developed the Reuse-A-Shoe program in the 1990s ... to transform the recycled shoes, along with pre-consumer shoe waste, into Nike Grind: a material used to create athletic and playground surfaces and more."

Huge h/t to @troublewithwords who took my casual comment & tracked this down! 🙏

Kev is one of 6 main characters in the wheelchair basketball comic I'm working on. He's is a retired wheelchair rugby player - hence why his chair looks so different to the other characters I've drawn so far - and when his wife (who's art is coming soon) started a wheelchair basketball team, but was struggling to get the numbers to actually play, he signed up too.
Personality wise, Kev is the team's jokey uncle and is meant to be a direct foil to the more serious characters on the team, like Ruby. He's already done the whole "serious athlete thing" and while he enjoys the game, at the end of the day, just there to have fun and support his wife, and remind the younger members to not get too wrapped up in it all.
He's a quad amputee (through the palms on his hands, above the knee on his legs) and is missing a good chunk of his tail too, making him a low-pointer on the court. Low point players are those who's disabilities impact their ability to play more severally, and they usually play in more defensive and supportive rolls than high-point players.

So I found out it's an orthotic #prosthetic for a leg #amputee & it's been at Fisher Building for decades. It was apparently there before my first orthotics appointment in 1980. The current staff don't know much about its history so it's now on my things to research in my spare time.

My first public commission from this batch, for cobaltington on Bluesky of their character Lenthrenna!

The perfect prosthetic is a super common trope surrounding amputees and people with limb differences who use a prosthetic limb, so let's talk about it!

I have just heard that an #amputee who has participated at last year's #FreeDiving AIDA pool nationals (2023) has just last month been awarded a Guinness World Record for the longest dynamic apnea without fins of 62 m.

The man in question is Brent Bythell.

An awesome accomplishment, and it was really inspiring to be there and talk with him before/after the dive(s).

It's been a very long time since I gave Kiesse some proper love!
I've been hyperfixating on the setting she's from and her story lately, so I wanted to redo her design since I'd been unhappy with for a while. I spent... too long trying to work out how to get her prosthetics to actually work in particular and I'm really happy with it!
