Hi Charlie,

It seems most people with such short stumps use chairs - and their mobility on hands and hips is great, too.

I have seen one young man - congenital - who uses a body bucket with suspended legs, and crutches with a swing-thru gait. He is fine.

Another - who tried this - gave it away, and simply walks on his hands and hips everywhere. He hates chairs!

Very high-tech limbs might work for you, even so.

Good luck.

Kent
