A close friend of mine has only one leg. He usually gets around on a scooter and wears prosthetic leg at work. He also uses crutches alot too. He uses prosthetic leg only at work because they require him to. all the rest of the time he leaves it at home. Since amputation was above knee and very close to hip the prosthetic is a hinderance and no help other than appearance. He and I have discussed it. He is concerned how he will travel if he is forced to go by foot. From work for instance, it is 50 miles home. His scooter won't run that far. He keeps a spare set of crutches and replacemnet pads around. although crutches could break or get taken away. We have tried to figure out alternatives. I could possibly craft crutches from tree branches, although they could be uncomfortable or even painful to use for very long. Or he could try crawling using knee pad and then elbow pads on his hands. But 50 miles is a long way to crawl. Anyone have any ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks.
Thanks.
