Side view of a person’s legs as they take what appears to be a natural step upward on a set of outdoor concrete stairs. The person is wearing black pants and black shoes. The pants of the uphill leg are pulled back revealing that the person is fitted with the prosthetic Bio Leg extending from just above the knee down to the shoe.
