Cycling, jogging, swimming, playing tennis or football and even skiing - after an amputation? Is that possible? The single most important prerequisite is the best possible prosthesis.
An amputation is often no reason to have to give up familiar sports or physical exercise. There are many ways an amputee can carry on with sports or even learn a new one.
Leg amputees can regain their self-confidence and stay fit at the same time with sports - for example, with the gentle endurance sports, cycling, swimming or Nordic walking. Stolperstein has collected amputees' experience and portraits.
