Handspring hero Since

2020

Success Story

Prior to his amputations, Mitchell participated in competitive pistol shooting and hopes to return to competitions soon.

​

Mitchell became a patient at POA and Handspring in the fall of 2020 after losing both legs and arms because of sepsis earlier that year.

​

The infection first led to Mitchell needing both arms amputated below the elbow, and shortly after, Mitchell also required his left leg to be amputated below the knee and his right leg to be amputated through the knee joint (knee disarticulation)..

What Stands Out

Mitchell is a dedicated and proud husband to his wife and father to his two young children. He works as a business analyst and has a passion for technology and innovation. Prior to his amputations, Mitchell participated in competitive pistol shooting and hopes to return to competitive shooting soon.

While Mitchell was being treated at Helen Hayes following his amputations, he was provided bilateral body powered upper extremity prostheses to try to give him some source of independence. In October 2020, Mitchell came to POA to begin his pre-prosthetic care where he met with our lower limb and upper limb specialists.

Mitchell's Advice

Since then, Mitchell has been working extremely hard with his healthcare team! Mitchell uses his lower limb prosthetics to walk and is able to do stairs now! Mitchell is also becoming a pro at his myoelectric arm prostheses and is able to do so many more tasks independently. Mitchell is back to work now and continuing to impress all of us with his dedication
