Discover Information and Apply for an Adult’s Amputee Running Leg

For an amputee athlete, we understand how essential a sports-specific prosthetic is to your performance — we tell people all the time that a blade isn’t a silver bullet; the sockets must be customized to each athlete’s body. However, there are significant barriers to owning a high-tech limb, especially when it’s not covered by insurance. That’s why we exist.

The ABR Board will then vote on applicants once they have completed the interviews and provided any additional requirements.
