Right transtibial leg prosthesis with Endolite Echelon foot, 2013 (c)

The knee socket is moulded to uniquely fit a limb and the foot features hydraulic ankle control that improves users' stability and confidence on rough and sloping surfaces. Most patients injured by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan start on half leg prosthetics, or 'stubbies', and then progress onto more advanced leg prosthetics. Prosthetics are specially fitted to the recovering service personnel at Headley Court Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, according to their clinical need and aptitude for different physical activities.
