The XT9 Prosthetic Knee

I did some more searching for amputee snowboarders. Their return to snowboarding was made possible by a prosthetic knee developed by SymBiotechs called the XT9. It is a knee prostheses that mimics the functions of the quadriceps in high activity sports.

Check out this video of a marine who lost his leg due to an IED in Iraq. This guy can shred.
