Looking good! Congrats on almost being done with the LL journey and being back to normal functioning. Hope you are running soon too. Your proportions look good. What's your sitting height?
I never measured my sitting height. I should do a proportions video on sitting height and measure my own sitting height, but that won't be for a while.

Nice video HeightJourney and thanks for the updates.
You’re looking great!
From the video it looks like your feet are pointing a bit to the sides when walking. Is this due to you still recovering and adapting to the new height?
I just need to strengthen my leg and hip muscles, especially the gluteus muscles, a little more. And practice with more walking with my feet pointing forward.

New video walking on the beach boardwalk. This is 2.5 weeks after my walking through Wal-Mart video.
HeightJourney nice and steady progress.
Have you considered aquatic therapy, like walking in a pool?
I’m not sure what the exact objective benefits would be, but for sure you would be able to focus on your leg movement with a bit of assisted buoyancy from the water removing some strain from your legs, making it easier on you to walk.
Maybe this could lead to better results than just a treadmill as you isolate the walking gate from the strain of the weight on your legs:
As in, you focus on the strength of your muscles through the gym, and you focus on the walking gate in the aquatic exercise?
If I can give some input on your latest video from the Bay Area, maybe take some slower strides when walking.
Hi HJ,
Are you able to drive during Tibias Lengthening?
The foot need to press the brake and Speed Pedals.
How is your scars on Tibias?
Have they become less obvious or visible?

Hydrotherapy (aquatic PT) is helpful when the patient is partial weight bearing. I'm well past that stage so hydrotherapy is no use to me.

I didn't drive during lengthening, nor is it recommended during lengthening. You might need extra force to slam the brakes or have a car mishap (like flat tire or accident).

Even after a year since surgery, the scars are slowly and steadily becoming less visible.
