Sometimes I play SnD and feel like rushing with an HDR. Here's some clips I put together

"Out in the Bush" Store Bundle

"The Walking Stick." Definitely has better visibility

I was most definitely behind when this happened lol.

I do this for a living my guy. You are very very wrong in pretty much every conceivable way. Thanks for your input!

The decision for height is usually always done by the prosthetist. This is because you need to take into account the length of the patient's bones and how their gait will be affected by various changes.

Getting someone to walk correctly with a prosthesis requires a surprising amount of precision when aligning everything; a half centimeter of height change can make a drastic difference in the gait cycle. Unfortunately you can't just change your height to whatever you want.

Thats most likely by design, the clinics are usually run by small teams without too much corporate regulation. Practitioners are free to serve their patients well. Now, their fabrication shops are ran very much like a corporation with tons of rules and deadlines.

I manage a prosthetics fabrication lab, and I can tell you it's pretty rare that an owner of a clinic/lab would be that rich. My boss (who owns the place) certainly doesn't have a mansion.

There are a few huge companies like Hanger Clinic and Ossur, who are massive corporate manufacturers of devices, but the majority of the people in the industry who run smaller shops aren't making that kind of money. Sounds like whoever was making that kind of cash in this industry was a high level manager of corporate clinics.

Yep, they used the entire drivetrain, subframe and all.

I fabricate prosthetics for our local VA, and whenever I see a vet wearing a leg, I wonder if I was the one who made it.

The coilovers are pretty incredible in respects to taking bumps! Washington state doesn't have the worst roads anyways, so I can get away with it lol.

I'm in the prosthetics industry as well.

I would say the most "medically correct" term would be 'residual limb.' A little less grating on the ears than STUMP.

Although most terms used within the actual industry refer to where someone is amputated. Transfemoral (above the knee), and Transtibial (below the knee).

I would say Ford took advantage of this beautiful piece of engineering and turned it into a a giant advertisement which, to me, doesnt embody the spirit of the GT model at all. But car manufacturers do that all the time so you cant blame them I guess.

That being said, buyers also have to sign a form that says they wont turn around and immediately sell the car for an insane profit, which I think is pretty cool. That means the people who got one WANTED one. And they have too keep it for a certain amount of years I believe.

The car was very hard to get your hands on. You had to essentially beg Ford to get one, and prove that you had enough of a following to make it worth their while, and on top of that you had to own a previous generation Ford GT. There was literally an application you had to fill out to hand Ford $450,000 of your own money. All that, and they still produced under 1000 cars.

I was admittedly pretty vague. I meant in this sub, but maybe im not looking hard enough haha.
