Mariann lost her right leg below the thigh and suffered minor arm damage in a car accident at age 2. She uses an electric prosthetic leg that automatically bends when lifted. The prosthetic contains an electronic processor that adjusts to her walking pattern. Mariann has few limitations day-to-day but finds slippery or hard surfaces uncomfortable. She is aware of surface qualities and friction levels, relying on stability and friction when bending down.
3. 25 years old and at the age of two Mariann amputated her right leg from the middle thigh after a
car accident.
It also caused some minor damage to her lower right arm.
She uses an electric prosthetic leg. In a walking motion the leg will automatically bend backwards
when it is lifted from the ground. The limb contains an electronic processor and adjusts according
to the users walking pattern.
She has few limitations when it comes to tasks on a day to day basis, more of a like/dislike
situation. Slippery surfaces and long stretches of hard surfaces can make it uncomfortable to
walk.
She is very aware of surface qualities and their physical character. Especially friction.
When bending down to pick up something she is solely dependent on her left leg and is therefore
very reliant on a good surface adjusted to her need for stability and friction.
