Needs an apple watch app

Needs an apple watch shortcut/ app with the cockpit app for amputees but could do with some upgrades you can tell by how long it takes for certain options, DEFINITELY needs apple watch app since thats all the next generation

Kinda disappointed

The title is exercised for amputees, so I thought it would have a bigger variety of exercises for multiple levels. Also would’ve thought there would be exercises for those that can’t use prosthetics yet or even at all. I’m a bilateral above knee but one side is a hip disarticulation and I currently can’t use prosthetics due to issues in my left residual limb. I’ve been trying to find a way to stay active and maybe find exercises that would be more tailored towards my level but sadly there wasn’t any.

No clips of double amputees

I am a double amputee above the knee. In the animations, there are no double amputees. Also not all of the exercises are inclusive for double amputees.

Excellent

Again this is one where the users would greatly benefit from it supporting Apple Watch. My wrist is always there and in easy sight for me when I’m exercising but my iPhone is usually put away. Please consider an update that will support Apple Watch.

For single leg amputees only

Sadly all the exercises only cover single above knee or below knee amputees. There are no tips or adapted exercises for double above knee amputees. Apart from some of the stretching exercises, it’s not very useful for the whole range of leg amputees.

Aerobic Exercise Without Prostheis

I think the exercises are all pretty great. I have found these exercises also to help reduce phantom pain. I can, however, only use a prosthesis in a very limited way for medical reasons and really would also love to know how I can improve aerobic fitness without using a prosthesis. Would be delighted if you could also help with this. 😁

What’s Happened?

I have been using this app for years and love it. Since the last update I am unable to use it on my iPad. There is no way of accessing the exercises, the screen is the wrong size and words are appearing on top of each other. Not sure what’s happened with it but I sure am disappointed.

Fantastic Fitness App to help guide you through your rehabilitation

This app is brilliant! It is easy to use and the exercises are ideal for rehabilitation as well as rebuilding your fitness. This app is perfect to get your strength back so you can use your new leg to its fullest. My physiotherapists recommend this app for my daily physio routine at home. Thanks Ottobock Smashed it! If you could add more exercises for those wanting to progress and correct gait and stance control issues - That would be perfect!

Need improvements!

It a nice app, but what about the users that are double or even triple amputees . A lot of these exercises are meant for single amputees! Which would be nice to incorporate of modified exercises for the triple Amputee!

Fitness for amputees

Very good app for lower limb amputees, this is excellent as it clearly shows you what to do and is very easy to follow. Basis strength, stamina and balance exercises. may need adapting for double amputees.

Great app especially for new/low activity amps

I wish this app was around when I had my amputation. I was given a long list of exercises to do by my physio's, so long that it was so daunting I never did any of them.
The exercises in this app are quick and easy to do at home with no special equipment. The statistics section means your physio can make sure you're doing them and the animations ensure you don't forget how to do things correctly.

Only criticism is that it doesn't seem possible delete or reset the statistics without deleting and re-installing the app.

Any chance of a super advanced version please???

Amazing!

I find this app most useful for everyone who needs guidance on amputee training. Although, you should make an app with exercises for hip disarticulated. I'm an hip disarticulated ottobock user and I know a lot o people who need that kind of guidance too.
