How is hiking with the leg device? Also how have they changed in your life, is it obvious that they’re becoming better

It went well, being able to adjust it on the go was definitely nice as the terrain got pretty intense at times. The hiking poles were a huge benefit as well for stability. As far as changes, I’ve been an amputee for about ten years. It’s more about finding a doctor and prosthetist that can work together with your best interest at heart. A truly great prosthetic takes a lot of effort from start to finish. Some prosthetists I’ve had just weren’t up to the task. My current team is helping me achieve things I thought I would never be able to do again.

Hiking poles are amazing tools, I use them all the time as well. Great to hear about your success though!
