- TAA 018: Pimp my prosthesis
TAA 018: Pimp my prosthesis
I guess most of you still remember the days when artificial limbs - generally speaking - were ugly. Designed for function, not for style. They were off the shelf models with a standard look. While many prosthetists offered some sort of cover or another, more often than not they tried to imitate the look of the remaining limb. And often, very often, it wasn‘t even a good imitation. But luckily the days of ugly artificial limbs are over. Especially 3-D printing was a breakthrough. And small companies are sensing a market, talking to amputees and what they want and then having the guts to give it a go.For more information, visit The Active Amputee.

TAA 017: Travel advice for people with a limb difference
Traveling is great fun. But from my own experience I also know that traveling as a person with a limb difference can be scary. You are leaving an environment you know, an environment which often has been adapted to your needs and your level of mobility, an environment which is accessible. And instead you are heading for the unknown. That is why The Active Amputee kicks off the new year with a new service: Hands-on travel advice, making it easier for people with a limb difference to travel far and wide and with confidence.

26 min - TAA 014: Kayaking as an amputee
TAA #014: Kayaking as an amputee
While water sports are generally great fun, they are especially well suited for lower limb amputees: They offer the added advantage of the water carrying most of our weight. An advantage not to be underestimated for many amputees.Swimming, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, surfing - no matter which one of these activities you fancy, they are all great fun and well worth a try. Even more so as they often allow you a completely new perspective on this beautiful planet of ours. There is a whole new world often just a few feet below the surface of the ocean. Feeling the force of a wave carrying you back to shore is a humbling experience. And any coast looks completely different when seen from a kayak.
In this episode I talk about my experiences and provide some hands-on tips to get into kayaking as an amputee.

TAA #011: Michael-Robbert Brans: Don't hide your obstacles
Michael-Robbert Brans is an accomplished adaptive athlete, world record holder, public speaker, and OCR runner. In recent years he set out to encourage others to be open about their obstacles and struggles. “I have conquered many things in my life, including invisible things that ultimately turned out to be the biggest obstacles in my life, and no one really knows about them. I would like to tell you to not hide your obstacles. Share your whole story with people around you and not just small parts of it. Only then you will be able to grow as a person and become the best version of yourself.”
Here is the link to Michael-Robbert's TEDx Talk he mentioned during the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPA3erpX_80

33 min - TAA 010: Walking as an amputee: The ideal start into an active lifestyle
TAA #010: Walking - The ideal entry-level activity for amputees
Fellow lower-limb amputees often ask me how they can increase their activity level. And if you ask me, I think walking is one of the best entry-level activities any lower-limb amputee can get into. For a variety of reasons. In this episode, I share some tips and tricks about how to get started. Nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary, just some ideas to identify an entry point for a more active lifestyle. I talk about the benefits of a regular walking routine. And I walk you through key aspects when choosing trekking poles.
