Amputee Makes Prosthetic Out Of Lego

Amputee Makes Prosthetic Out Of Lego

Known as "Amputee OT" on her Facebook page, Christina Stephens took up a colleague's challenge to create a prosthetic out of Lego blocks.

According to an article in The Mary Sue, the occupational therapist and clinical researcher may have had her leg amputated below the knee earlier this year but that hasn't stopped her from innovating. Hence, LEGOleg. Or LEG-O. 

Not content to rest on her laurels, Stephens is about to attempt her first swim since becoming an amputee. Perhaps she could consider a teaching post at this school...

Check out her amazing video!
