13 - Alex Lewis - Quadruple Amputee, hear his story and about the amazing work he is now doing with students developing prosthetic limbs.

Do you know what muscle whispering is?

Neither did I until I met Alex Lewis. I learnt a lot talking to him. What a thoroughly lovely guy. I wish I could have captured all the sub chats we had while I was fiddling about with my new camera, he is so interesting and his outlook and gratitude towards his life is contagious. 

Are you an amputee? 

Alex is actively seeking out willing participants to help students develop new and exciting prosthesis.

Prosthetics are intended to restore the normal functions of the missing body part, but how can an able bodied student really know what it's like to live every day with limbs missing unless they talk to someone who has to survive like that.  By working with amputees students can discover what is really needed and by using feedback from potential end users they are able to create far more effective and cost effective designs.

Please contact Alex to find out how you can get involved.  Alex-Lewis.co.uk
