A member asked:
When can someone be able to try new sports with a prosthesis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's individualized: Really depends on your extent of prosthesis and how well your functioning with it. I have worked with athletes in many sports with many types of prosthesis. If you can participate in a sport safely with a prosthesis, theres no reason you can't compete.
