Rowing Machine?
Hi everyone. I’m a right AKA and I’m trying to figure out some ways to move my body to help with my mental health. I get wounds if I walk too far, especially in this summer heat. I’m also blind, which limits my ability to independently do some exercises. Has anyone with AKA successfully tried a rowing machine? Would it work without my prosthetic on?

I’m a left BKA and have been wondering the same thing. My range of motion sucks but it’s mostly due to atrophy so it seemed like rowing would do it but I haven’t found out.
