Running
is something some people do for fun and others avoid. For Kristie Christensen,
it's a new and exciting experience.
Christensen had her first running
lesson after being fitted for a high-tech computerized leg called the Plié 2.0.
She was born with a right femur that was too short, and she was missing
the tibia in her lower leg, which led doctors to amputate it.
Before
Christensen could run, she had to learn to walk correctly.

to walk and not fall is really a big deal," she said.Titanium Pipe

Christensen used to fall daily with her old
prosthesis, but since getting the $20,000 Plié 2.0 two months ago, she hasn't
fallen. After she mastered walking, she was ready for the next lesson: running.
"To be honest, I was a little bit scared," she said. "I was like, 'I
don't really want to run, but I might as well try it.'?"
Christensen's
instructor was Tyler Hyatt, who knows what it's like to be an amputee.
"When I was 4, I was run over by a garbage truck, so (I've) pretty much
been an amputee since then," Hyatt said. "Growing up, I didn't consider myself
much of an amputee. I was very active, played basketball, soccer, ice hockey."
He started working with Freedom Innovations, which created the

at the end of the day," Hyatt said.Fiber Optic Patch Panel

first time.

thing before, but now it's getting it to be equal. It's kind of a cool
experience to get to run instead of skip-hop."
