1840 km! – Why actually?
Denis is twelve. A nice age for a boy. Unfortunately, his urge to move is thwarted by a shortened leg on his right side. For a good ten years, various friends of the family have been tinkering. Materials of any kind had to be used. The last model brought it to a weight of five kg. Running was more of a pain than a pleasure for Denis.
Christian Haupt and Daniel Müller worked lovingly on a new prosthesis. It weighs only 2.5 kg and allows a significantly greater range of motion. Finally Denis can participate in the sports lessons at his school.
A thank you to the “Otto Bock Global Fundation”, which supports our orthopedic workshop with many components. Everyone understands why Denis’ mother’s eyes were filled with joy. And of course, the long journey from northern Peru was worth it. (By clicking on the picture at the top you can see Denis running).
