Inspiring Prosthetic Journey: Matt’s Transformation with BK Prosthetics

Meet Matt, a 27-year-old who lost his leg below the knee due to trauma. After years of struggling to find a well-fitted prosthesis, Matt decided it was time to reclaim his confidence and pursue his dream of becoming a police officer. Matt reached out to our team and spoke directly with Erik about improving his life with a better-fitting prosthesis.

Despite facing financial challenges and insurance obstacles, Matt’s journey took a positive turn thanks to the support of the Heather Abbott Foundation and A Step Ahead Prosthetics. With their help, Matt received a custom below-knee prosthesis that has transformed his life. In just three days, A Step Ahead Prosthetics casted Matt for a new prosthesis, fitted him with a diagnostic socket, and delivered the final prosthesis. Years of struggling to get a good fit at other facilities were finally over, and we are thrilled Matt found our team at A Step Ahead.

Witness Matt’s determination and passion in this inspiring video as he sprints, jumps, and hustles, showcasing his new prosthetic leg. Big things are on the horizon for Matt, and we are proud to support him in achieving his dreams. From initial contact to receiving his new prosthetic, Matt’s experience was transformative. He describes it as “the most beautiful insane experience” of his life. The advanced prosthetics provided him with newfound capabilities, enabling him to run, jump, and engage in activities he once thought impossible.
