  • my name's John Dolman.

  • I'm a prosthetist.

  • I make dentures.

  • So it's just a matter of bending the rules a bit, I suppose, because he didn't have a foot, he limped and he wouldn't put pressure on it.

  • He had difficulty in climbing and he could not jump.

  • And of course, he walks a lot slower.

  • Hey, trying.

  • That's my boy.

  • Hello.

  • I was speaking to a local dentist.

  • John and E wanted to have a look.

  • I thought, Okay, I realized that he was in trouble just watching him walk around holding his leg in the air.

  • The fact that his leg bone almost protrudes through the bottom So he's standing on it, and I thought, There's nothing to lose.

  • I should have a dio e for the idea of making a boot out of this dental material on DLA.

  • Luckily, he has almost has a little ankle here, which means that this thing can slip over it and weaken Velcro at the top, which is what's holding it on on.

  • Ben.

  • It was just a matter of getting in some tread pattern so he could grip.

  • So since I put it on him, he actually did this little jump started running around, so Yeah, he reacted really, really well.

  • He seems like, you know, he was reborn again.

  • Hey, was just rejuvenated.

  • I have to say that I cried because it was just such a great moment.

  • Come on.

  • In the middle of doing another one for him when we're going to change the design of a little bit theater catchment process is probably gonna be the same.

  • But we'll refine the shape of this, eh?

  • So that he can climb a little better with it.

  • Amazing.

  • Amazing that it could be done.

  • And it just gives him a better quality of life because he's gonna be captivated rest of his life.

my name's John Dolman.
