WASHINGTON D. C., SEPTEMBER 29, 2004 - Spc. Sean Lewis, of the U. S. Army 4th Infantry Division, waits to get a new socket for his leg at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D. C. Sean says of the therapy, " I'm walking. They do everything they can to make sure I can walk on two legs. Granted one of mine is titanium... but I've got two legs." His leg was amputated following an attack at Camp Warhorse near Baqubah in Iraq. He is now recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D. C. He has been fitted with a prosthetic leg and doing physical therapy daily. He and his wife Jessica Lewis are staying at the Mologne House, a guest house on the Post. (FROM www.ottobockus.com- **Otto Bock HealthCare introduced the C-Leg microprocessor-controlled knee-shin system to the United States in 1999. Since then, hundreds of wearers have benefited from this quantum leap in prosthetics - a dramatic improvement over all other prosthetic knees. Featuring unique microprocessor swing and stance phase control, its customized settings and constant readjustments, the C-Leg is truely one of a kind. The efficiency of the C-Leg's swing phase dynamics, even at varying walking speeds and uneven terrain, provides a more secure, natural, and efficient gait.) (CRAIG F.
