Client Information

"I have been an amputee for 41 years. I lost my right leg in a boating accident when I was 17 years old. The technology of prosthetics have changed dramatically over the forty years. I have had many prostheses made over those years with various degrees of success. Two years ago, I had a prosthesis made for me by Next Step at their Newton facility. The prosthesis made by Gerry and Arthur is by far the best I have had in the forty years. I walk an average of 4 to 5 miles a day, and outside of normal maintenance from the first day using this prosthesis, I have not had a single problem. In particular, not a single skin or fit related problem, which I find almost impossible to believe. Having a quality prosthesis that fits has improved my overall health and quality of my life."
