The ProsthetiKa container-based workshop is now secured on its cement pad on the premises of Hospital Adventiste in Haiti. We are beginning clinical, fabrication, and training activities. Though this prosthetics and orthotics program is intended to be run and staffed by Haitians, we will be sending volunteer experts to provide training and assistance as long as necessary and appropriate.

The benefits of the C-Leg microprocessor controlled prosthetic knee is that it provides stumble protection and  automatically adjusts to  variable cadences, walking surfaces, and activities. It also allows descending stairs step over step.  Therefore  any above the knee amputee who is at risk for falling due to the prosthetic knee buckling, or who engages in multiple walking activities would benefit from the C Leg.
