\"\"<\/a>JOSH’S STORY:\u00a0November 12, 2011 will forever be known as Corporal Joshua Sust\u2019s Alive Day or the day he cheated death. On mounted patrol in Helmand Provence, Afghanistan, his unit encountered an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). Josh\u2019s last memory that day was watching his helmet fly off his head, and he suffered major injuries to his left leg and arm.<\/p>\n

After three years of constant pain in his leg, Josh went through an elective procedure to amputate his badly injured leg. He had been inspired by the examples of his fellow Marines that are enjoying active lives with below knee amputations. Josh\u2019s relationship with Abilities In Motion began when he was fitted for an IPOP (Removable Immediate\u00a0Post Operative Cast) by Tom Walsh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This device was key to his recovery because it allows the patient to keep his\/her leg straight and protects the incision site.<\/p>\n

On December 23, 2015, Josh received his new prosthesis, and he told the staff at Abilities In Motion, \u201cIt was the best Christmas present ever. Just being able to take that first step was an amazing feeling and accomplishment\u201d. It was the start of a new life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Josh\u2019s enthusiasm and zest for life is contagious. Because he wants to continue to pay it forward, it was a natural move to make Josh a valuable member of the Abilities In Motion team. \u201cJosh is able to speak to patients with an empathy and understanding that only someone with his experiences can express,\u201d says Tom Walsh. \u201cHe is able to coach and inspire patients to keep moving forward\u201d.<\/p>\n
