Petrus Mnisi is a transfemoral amputee and has been for many years. Over the time that has elapsed since his amputation, he has developed his own gait pattern. This is a common way that amputees cultivate a gait that allows them to feel safe and secure while walking.
The many years as an amputee have resulted in a habitual gait pattern forming, likely due to the fact that Petrus has always had mechanical knee joints. At Deist & Associates, we recently fit Petrus Mnisi with his very own RHEO XC knee joint.
