AmputeeOT: How an Ohio Willow Wood Elevated Vacuum Limb Logic Prosthetic Leg Works

[@billpitt1790]

Hi Christina, I had a motorcycle accident in May this year & lost my left leg below the knee. I was very lucky & got a new prosthetic leg 2 months ago. I'm now being fit for a new leg as my leg has changed greatly. You were terrific answering the questions I had with your YOU-TUBE VIDEOS. I haven't seen much of you lately, thanks & I hope you are doing well. BTW, I got a new motorcycle & it's great to be out riding again, thanks, bill

I lost my L Leg two years ago, and now ride a scooter trike, but want to get back on two wheels. How have you managed the shifting issue?

[@9999plato]

David Coats Heel and toe shifter on the VTX1800, CVT Transmission on the Bergman 650. One day a Multistrada is in my future.

[@advent35]

Bill Pitt hello Bill I'm also a left leg amputee trying to come up with a viable way to shift my motocross bikes I thought about the healing toe shifter and was wondering how will this work for you?

[@fdmckenzie]

I just got the limblogic elevated vacuum system today and I LOVE IT! It feels so natural... like it is a part of me! No more distal end problems I'm hoping!

[@janebookless5293]

I love the corrugated liner inside of the socket!

[@9999plato]

The movement he describes is giving me callouses and wounds. I am now getting my first Elevated Vacuum leg (ems) thanks to seeing this video. I tried the Harmony/Triton and it felt like I was walking on a slab of plywood. Staying with the Rush foot. Elevated Vacuum made the leg feel SO LIGHT, not pendulous. Thanks.

[@donstoddard8458]

I have the pins system, which I'm very happy with but I do know what you're talking about with the callous. I may look into this vacuum system, but for me it all comes down to money. I don't know what took me so long to find this site but I just want to thank you.

[@paullasmith4975]

Yeah----interesting, informative and fun. (and no potty mouthing what so ever). Love the video! Thank you!

[@furgulley8077]

just on a side note I love the gmc syclone truck in the background. I've always wanted one of those

[@gaypreator8547]

Fur Gulley 👍🤣

[@bradgillis3701]

Awesome video. I was just measured for one of these today... thank you

[@hezrontusekelege2168]

Wow it is fantastic.how and where I can get more detail and cost to my left leg?

[@eddienienaber3705]

I have a pin lock system and the liner wears through at the knee what do you think I should do Thank you Edward Nienaber

[@antoniozaragozarobledo5220]

gracias, AMPUTEE OT, por haberme recomendado este video.

[@emf1111]

great video, thanks a lot. every time I watch it I learn something different about this system

[@glennmarchese1697]

First off hello I am Glenn I would like to say thank you to you ,for all your information you share .I have to go today for the trial fit...but I am starting to watch all of your videos .........to learn my main????s to you and your buddy with his vacuum leg is this I still have not did therapy yet.I do go maybe I n two weeks tho .but starting out how is the pain Chris....thank you guys and God bless....

[@jodyriggs5321]

Socket design. You can fit the Otto Bock liner directly into the the hard socket without using the inner liner/insert and still use the LimbLogic VS. Why use the inner liner? Without it you would save bulk and maybe increase range of motion. I've never heard the claim that the textured interface of the inner liner increases surface bearing. Look forward to your reply. I'm all ears and happy to learn.

[@LauraKayeAuthor]

Does wearing an elevated vacuum limb mean you don't have to see your prosthetist for adjustments as frequently as with the other types? Thanks!

[@TheRobes84]

I started using Otto Bock aerolink and so far it is the best combination of both worlds.. (no restriction in movement and vacuum :) )

[@abdulrahman23192]

Do you use vacuum with normal foot?

[@abdulrahman23192]

Actually I have some inquiries because I need to get one

[@abramporras7877]

I just got a mold done today. Should I get a vacuum or a pin lock system I am active

[@kalenagy]

G8 video is there a comparison diagram for users? e.g. I use the suspension sleeve alone but, in the last few years the ones I've tried keep rolling as I sweat. I want to try the interlocking system. However, I need to be informed so I could convince my prosthetic tech to install it. He is old fashion.

[@AVANITAGRAWAL1911]

hey! amputeeOT, which prosthesis u have? It seems very comfortable.. Have you ever used Ottobock?

[@henrybanville2907]

any videos on how to stretch?

[@coffeecarsandmorewithdanny5749]

Great video! How are the legs paid for?

[@tomnichols2229]

bell clapping I learn more and more ways to talk to my doctor about problems thank you

[@juandelgado8309]

What's the cost of that foot?

[@TheSteamtramman]

My late friend and colleague, Hans Ulrich Rudel lost the lower part of his leg on the Eastern Front 1944. He was fitted with a vacuum operated leg and carried on flying his Stuka. Later he developed dive-bombers in Argentina. And that was that long ago...but it had a manual exhausting pump.

[@firesteel1]

Really interesting video thanks

[@AsdAsd-lf2xq]

hi is the vacuum system able with c leg I mean electronic prosthetic or not?

[@oneleggedwonder1]

I got this leg after seeing this video I got in contact willow wood who make my vacuum pump for my prostatic leg about a year ago now and told them I think app on my iPhone would be better than a key Fob and they told me they will put it to the development team they have developed the app for iOS

[@alaaahmed2521]

How much dose it cost

[@mnaks]

How much does it cost?

[@kishorbagde5462]

What is its cost

[@alison_withonel]

Dragging Jared around by his prosthetic leg was hilarious. If you tried to do that with another retention system, would that have resulted in the leg coming off?

[@WexysWE4]

You might, but if you have a good fit in any system, your leg is going to be pretty secure. The key is having that good fit and wearing your prosthesis properly. I can hang upside down in my pin/lock system, it just doesn't feel as secure. The least secure suspension would be something like one that you just slide into with a sock and are held in place by the socket wrapping around your knee. Those come off pretty easy, but are mainly for K2 ambulators.

[@MrP3GL3G]

so... that was pretty cool. I have a prosthetist that told me he could laminate a design on my new leg, however, from this video it looks like I will have an outer sleeve... I ordered a custom laminate sleeve from Fredslegs.com that set me back 66 bux and its on the way. I am not very happy with my prosthetist. Such a cool design but apparently from this video it would be covered by the outer sleeve? or is there a vacuum leg that now that does not have an outer sleeve?

[@krystalbranson-green1520]

if I would have my insurance pay for this kind of leg, how much would u cost them?

[@SrElifaz]

Just to confirm, he is able to run with that vacuum system leg, right?

[@junbh2]

I'd be worried about losing the 'key' to my own leg, or forgetting to bring it with me.

[@paullasmith4975]

Lanyard and pouch hung around the neck becomes a part of you. No big deal.

[@byronsmith7225]

i tryed the vacuum prosthetic i did not like it . i like the pin prosthetic better

[@enginesten]

Fabulous AS ALWAYS.LOVE YPU,|mORRIS

[@haisond]

Why have a key fob at all, just have an on/off button on the prosthetic

[@solankikalpesh4090]

Can I buy it for me from india

[@RhayvenBlood]

"How a tongue twister works" is more like it. Damn.

[@cucumelo]

quiero una de esa! :)

[@jdzencelowcz]

A remote control leg...just like that dude in Texas Chainsaw 4, nice! The only drawback I see is, U'd B in trouble if caught in a leg trap, least if ya lose the remote.

[@victoriapendleton4099]

My God! When did you lose your knee??? Didn't know you had one

[@ioodaeveryday1397]

Way cool! I thought a joke about "You're pulling my leg, but don't. Seriously don't it will come off." but Jared's wont. Really cool and I am just getting fitted for my 3rd pin socket, I got a chance to use a suction or valve/vacuum (not like his, more like your running blade) and it is tearing my upper thigh up so back tot he pin.

[@alexism.1701]

U remind me of my friend Bri

[@jaredgrossnickel5103]

My name is Jared lol

[@robinsham]

You are rich so you can get what you want!I GET NOTHING

[@matthiashorne4123]

Pin lock sucks

[@Couch3255]
