Warning of 'disabling' effect of cutting blade-fundingpublished at 12:41 British Summer Time 2 May 2017
The prosthetist who has been fitting running blades to young amputees in the Midlands says if funding for them is cut, the effect will be the same as "disabling" the children.
The government set aside £1.5m for the blades following the Rio Paralympics, but they need replacing every two years and there is no guarantee the money will continue beyond March 2018.
Andy Sharpe from the Birmingham Rehabilitation Centre is collecting evidence about their effectiveness, by timing the children running with the blades and with their normal prosthetic legs, in the hope of proving the funding should continue.
Macey Hand, from Bridgnorth, has been fitted with a running blade.

Quote MessageIf (the funding) stops then instead of being an enablement, we are going to start disabling these kiddies because if you've got to take them off that's going to be an absolutely terrible thing to do."
