Hello, can you please give me the contact-email and possibly phone no of a good centre where a post traumatic transhumeral amputee from Nigeria can have an effective and functional prosthesis done.

Our company recently acquired a complete artificial left leg used only a few times by a woman, now deceased. The foot measurement is nine inches by three inches. Everything looks brand new.

Hi, im new to the world of false limbs. iam a double bk amputee, iam attending my local limb centre where they have given me my first pair of legs. these legs are very heavy, and seem so much bigger than my own legs, my legs are quite slim and the false limbs are so big round the knee area. i would love something slimmer and lighter but havnt a clue what to ask for or what my options are as an nhs patient. im only 25 years old and i hate sitting in my wheelchair and people staring at my missing limbs, my false legs are too heavy to wear when im sitting in my chair. any help or advice would be appriciated. thanks.
