Adaptive Equipment Photo Albums.
Note: A paddler should NOT wear prosthetics legs inside a decked boat. Because he/she can't bend their ankle or knee at will, the prosthetic becomes an entrapment hazard. Also, a swim may result in the loss of a valuable prosthetic.
An option is wearing a socket and carrying the lower prosthetic stored forward or aft in the boat (often with a stubby terminal device).
