Safe & Smooth: Proprio Foot Provides Boost To Amputees As They Walk

When we walk, 40 percent of the time our legs are swinging through the air. In those moments, an amputee—or anyone else, for that matter—is at risk of tripping.

Such a stumble can lead to a host of other problems, especially for amputees who may already face other health difficulties.

That is why Steve Thorstenson turned to Scheck & Siress for a prosthetic advancement called the Proprio Foot. At Triblocal.com, the companion website to the Chicago Tribune, you can read a more in-depth profile about Steve and the role that we have been able to play in his journey.
