Amputees & Limb-Different Adults - Share Prosthetic Experiences

Voices of Limb Loss: A Conversation with Prosthetist Michael Marin, MSPO, CPO + Looking for Future Participants The newest Voices of Limb Loss interview is live. For this installment, I spoke with Michael Marin, MSPO, CPO, an upper-limb prosthetics specialist, about what he has learned from the people he serves, the importance of listening to lived experience, and why prosthetic care doesn’t end when a device is delivered. One line from Michael especially captures the spirit of this project: “I believe the prosthetic user’s lived experience is the most valuable teaching tool for me as a clinician.” Read the full interview here: https://thebionicperspective.com/voices-of-limb-loss-michael-marin/ A quick note for clarity: Michael shares his individual professional perspective in this interview. His comments are his own and do not represent Hanger Clinic. This interview was produced independently by The Bionic Perspective and is separate from, and not affiliated with, Hanger Clinic or its social media campaigns. Voices of Limb Loss is also looking for future participants. If you are an amputee or someone with limb difference and would be interested in sharing your story, perspective, experiences with prosthetics, or life beyond them, I’d love to hear from you. I’m also interested in conversations with clinicians, researchers, advocates, and others whose work intersects with the limb-loss community. The goal of Voices of Limb Loss is simple: create space for perspectives that can teach the rest of us something. If you’re interested in participating, send me a message here on Reddit or reach out through The Bionic Perspective website. I look forward to hearing from you.
