Ashly Ash has been seeking a prosthetic leg that would help her function "like a man" - lifting, climbing stairs and leading the active lifestyle she refuses to give up. She was recently fitted with a new prosthesis specially designed to be more functional for her type of higher-level amputation. She is the fourth patient to visit the BADER Clinic, based out of STAR Campus.
Information captured through motion analysis inside BADER’s treadmill lab - where cameras capture the movements of patients walking or running on the split-belt instrumented treadmill - helps the staff at Independence Prosthetics-Orthotics make changes to improve patient function and comfort.
