Bob Haggard serves as an active reserve in the US Army. As a typi- cal 23 year old, he enjoys many high energy, outdoor activities such as cycling and running.<\/p>\n

\"\"In January of 2012, Bob was involved in an automobile acci- dent. Due to his accident Bob had his right knee fused in slight flexion.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0caused difficulty sitting\u00a0in tight\u00a0spaces, such\u00a0as bleachers\u00a0at sporting\u00a0events. He\u00a0has had multiple surgeries to his elbows, as well as amputa- tions of fingers and thumb of his right hand. Bob continued to have pain in his left knee and limited range of motion in his left ankle.<\/p>\n

\n

In April of 2013, Bob decided to undergo an above knee amputation on his right leg. This was a big decision, but one that he felt was right for him. On June 6, 2013 we fitted Bob with his above the knee prosthesis.<\/p>\n

Bob\u2019s rehab has gone very well. He quickly learned to walk without assistance. With his youth, strength and agility working in his favor, he even taught himself to run.<\/p>\n

\"\"Bob\u2019s next goal is to be able to cycle. As seen in the photo, he has converted his bike into a stationary unit. This allows him to learn how to<\/p>\n

balance and pe- dal safely before hitting the trails.<\/p>\n

His prosthetic knee has the option of turning off the stance resistance and functioning in a free swinging mode.<\/p>\n

We can certainly say as far as Bob is concerned, he is definitely moving forward!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
