N2 - The combination of paraplegia with an above-knee amputation is a complex injury that makes the rehabilitation process difficult. This article describes a case of T12 paraplegia and an above-knee amputation. After the rehabilitation course, the patient achieved full ambulatory independence with an ischial containment, contured adducted trochanteric controlled alignment method (CATCAM) prosthesis and a knee ankle foot orthosis (KAFO). Difficulties in fitting a functional prosthesis to an insensate limb and the rehabilitation stages leading to functional ambulation are reviewed.
