And that was so amazing the story of that little girl with the prostheses, I wish her all the best of luck. The introduction of carbon fibre tech for amputees is really changing the landscape of what's on the horizon, particularly for below-knee amputees. @ Matt: Thanks for the comments mate :) BTW, sorry for not visiting your blog of late, been meaning to catch up on what you’ve been up to, will try and get around to reading up over the weekend!

I know it can be very tough sitting on the sidelines, trying to be patient. Best of luck in a quick return to training! I know it can be very tough sitting on the sidelines, trying to be patient.
