Good morning, folks:

I may have asked this question before, but I don't recall any clear answer. I
am now 70 years old. I get around fine right now and am quite healthy. But my
wife is concerned with how well I'll be able to get around as we age together.
I have looked in the medical literature for information on how well AKAs do with
ambulation as they age. (Say 80s - 90s. I'm an optimist!)

It occurred to me that there might be some PT/OT folks or Physical Therapists
following this list that might have even some anecdotal information about this
question.

Thanks in advance for any information that you can provide.
