More than 50 Utah amputees received a chance to run and walk with prosthetic limbs Saturday at the fourth annual Utah Adaptive Mobility Clinic on the track of Skyline High School.
The event, organized by Hanger Clinic, a prosthetics patient-care provider, let amputees at all levels of ability meet health care professionals and try out prosthetic devices that may make mobility easier.
Appearing at the event is Matthew Brewer, a bilateral above-knee amputee and athlete who has competed in surfing and triathlon events. He talked about surviving cancer and drug addiction, and learning to walk again after losing both legs.
