Andrew experienced a spinal injury 3 years ago after coming off his mountain bike and has had to learn to walk again.
With his new device from Interface, it is the first time in 3 years that Andrew has walked without crutches, been able to stand up in a group and hold a drink while having a conversation and go to the shops and carry items by himself.
Andrew is using a C-Brace2 microprocessor knee unit from . We have made his custom device ourselves here, in Perth, with pre-preg carbon fiber, which has kept his KAFO , including the knee unit under 4kg. This is a huge breakthrough for us, being able to reduce the energy needed by our clients to mobilize independently.
Thankyou Andrew for being willing to share your story. The sizing up with your snow boots went well, so we're looking forward to seeing the adventures you can get up to now.
