  • AIMEE MULLINS: I remember the first time I saw a pair of my legs in a museum. It was

  • weird.\ \

  • [Music]\ \

  • I probably shouldn't be telling you all that.\ \

  • [Music]\ \

  • As a teenager, I'm sitting there with basically the same version of what I'd always had\'97of

  • what most amputees have had since the 30s, basic kind of wooden legs that are y'know,

  • really for orthopedic shoes. Now, not as a teenager, not ever will I be wearing an orthopedic

  • shoe. So I was shoving this flat foot into, it was kind of like a little motorcycle boot.

  • Not a big heel, but probably an inch. It was pitching me a little bit forward so my knees

  • and my hips and my lower back were gonna take that impact, but as a teenager we do ridiculous

  • things for vanity and I was doing that. So I was traveling with a man who was responsible

  • for developing the cheetah leg. We were sitting in this airport ready to board a plane. He

  • looked down and said y'know, I can't believe you're doing that to your back and to your

  • knees. That's just\'97it's really bad and you need to just accept it. You are a double

  • amputee. You should accept that. And I\'97I remember being like not even knowing where

  • to start with my rebuttal. Uh, I have accepted it. I live it every day, but also why should

  • I be immune to experiencing the same thing that every other teenager is experiencing

  • and furthermore why is that I can go to Madame Tussaud's wax museum and see a leg that absolutely

  • in every way replicates a human leg but I can't have one to wear with a high heel? With

  • any kind of an elevated heel? And I thought, wait a second, why is there never\'97why have

  • I never met somebody who went to art school working in a prosthetic lab? It's this area

  • where it's usually\'97the role of aesthetic is abandoned. \

  • \ And when I say aesthetic, I'm not talking

  • about the need to have something that looks human, it just has to be beautiful to the

  • wearer and has to be something that evokes a sense of ownership and confidence. So there

  • is something about that very intimate relationship between us and our assistive medical devices

  • that needs to be honored. Whether it's your eyeglasses or your contacts, why shouldn't

  • they be custom? Why shouldn't they allow you to feel proud of it? Developments in the world

  • of prosthetics are happening in leaps and bounds. Just the other day, I got two new

  • sets of legs. One was the Biomes from a company called iWalk out of Massachusetts, but it

  • was really the sockets. It's a new kind of socket for me that completely changed my alignment.

  • I mean, I actually got taller and the legs weren't any taller than my old legs, but I

  • was almost a half inch taller simply from standing straight. For the first time in my

  • life, my alignment is allowing me to stand perfectly straight and perfectly still so

  • I'm not constantly fighting y'know and moving my muscles around to hold a stable position

  • which is something I just had gotten used to my entire life in the sense of I've adapted

  • to what didn't work and made it work and now you don't have to make it work anymore. You

  • can get something that fits your body properly, so I'm really curious to see as we add, continue

  • to add assistive medical devices to our bodies, what does that look like with our locomotion?

  • And y'know what are the new kinds of beautiful movements we'll come up with?\

  • \ I'm begging all of you to go out and subscribe

  • to THNKR! }
