Frรฉderique is an energetic child.
She enjoys playing outside with her friends, doing stunts on her โstunt scooterโ, and shining on stage during dance performances.
At the age of five, Frรฉderique underwent a limb-salvage surgery due to bone cancer. Playing and running fast was out of the question for a while. A period of rehabilitation started.
Feeling limited.
Moving around with her prosthetic leg did not always go well. She was limited by her prosthetic foot, and she was frustrated by that. From being the fastest in class, she became the slowest, and in tag she was always the first to be tapped out.
New goals.
But Frรฉderique didn't give up and set new goals:
- No longer be tapped out first during tag.
- No longer being picked last in gym class.
Two years later, everything changed. Frรฉderique's mother saw the new developments of Gyromotics at the tech festival Museon-Omniversum in The Hague and suggested that Frรฉderique test the first prototype.
What was said, was done: last year, Frรฉderique got the first chance to try the latest prototype. In cooperation with De Hoogstraat Orthopedietechniek, the prosthesis was fitted. The first test period began.
The following week the new prosthesis immediately accompanied her on vacation. Without difficulty Frรฉderique reached the top of the mountain. And of course she took the adventurous route back down. (read: climbing and crawling over rocks, loose stones and into trees).
Once home, the prosthesis also went everywhere with her: to school, during gym, outdoor play, winter sports vacation and the skate park!
Now, more than a year later, Frรฉderique is running around energetically again. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐๐๐ค ๐๐ฒ ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ๐ข๐ ๐๐จ๐จ๐ญ. Last month, she tested the latest version with the latest technological advances.
Thanks to this new prosthetic foot, she is faster, stronger and more confident than ever before.
Her new goal: become a fashion model!
