notes: label: Description
content: Staff Sergeant Justin Kautz lost his leg above the knee during Operation Iraqi Freedom. This leg socket made for him is a transfemoral prosthesis (AK) designed via CAD/CAM technology. It was attached to a microprocessor-controlled Otto Bock C-Leg knee unit with a torque absorption pylon. It is a fully alignable, ultra-light prosthesis and utilizes suction suspension through a socket insert with locking mechanism. Attached to the knee was a multi-axial, high activity, energy-storing Otto Bock Luxon Max foot and an Otto Bock push button rotator (allows you to cross your legs when sitting). The liner is Bio-Elastic. The NASCAR design was created by cutting a NASCAR T-shirt, shaping it, and bonding it to the surface of the socket with acrylic resins.
