flag A 34-year-old double amputee finds wearing prosthetics backward boosts comfort, balance, and energy efficiency, enabling wheelchair-free mobility for 3.5 years.

flag Ross Holland, a 34-year-old double amputee, found that wearing his prosthetic feet backward improves comfort, balance, and energy efficiency, allowing him to go without a wheelchair for 3.5 years. flag His prosthetist and Dr. Scott Brown’s team at Sinai Hospital studied the technique, finding it enhances posture, optimizes center of gravity, and reduces energy use. flag The researchers believe the method could benefit other amputees and plan a larger study. flag Holland hopes his discovery helps others achieve greater independence.
