Prosthetic leg with extreme sports

Mike Schulz, a former snowmobile pro player, had to amputate his left leg below the knee in an accident in 2008. However, he did not give in to this, and made a prosthetic leg that he designed himself based on mechanisms such as a bicycle frame and suspension, and participated in the Paralympic Games as a snowboarder and won gold and silver medals in 2018.

He wore a prosthetic leg after 5 weeks of Saro, but felt uncomfortable and designed it himself. After 7 months, he returned to the racing game and tried snowboarding while wearing a prosthetic leg. In the end, he thought that the prosthetic leg he made would help others, and he founded a company called BioDapt.

Biodapt introduced products such as the Moto Knee, which has a moving part from the knee to the shin and a suspension, and the VF2, which is the lower part of the ankle with a similar mechanism. They all have the strength to withstand extreme sports and can be used for a variety of purposes with advanced adjustment features. If necessary, it can be customized and can be combined with other manufacturers’ prosthetic feet. Related information can be found here .

Through the monthly AHC PC and HowPC magazine era, he has watched 'technology age' in online IT media such as ZDNet, electronic newspaper Internet manager, editor of Consumer Journal Ivers, TechHolic publisher, and editor of Venture Square. I am curious about this market that is still full of vitality.
