Going from being a BK all my life to an AK and it's definitely a Different beast. I've watched several of your videos for walking before attempting my first walk on the above knee prosthesis check socket and my Prosthetist was impressed. But, I totally contribute with how well it went to being able to watch your videos before hand as well as maybe my past experience with having the BK, thank you. I have another appointment with him tomorrow so here I am again.

Is there a way for an ak amputee *without* a prosthesis get off the floor. If so, is there a video?
The logistics of it seem impossible.

I think standing up alone with nothing to hold onto, is easier for a woman because of a lower center of gravity.
