A controversy that started ith Oscar Pistorius back in 2007 has come up again with an American double amputee, Blake Leeper. While people have their guesses, we have quite a bit of science that explains whether or not these prosthetics give these runners an advantage.

Hi, I’m Patrick. I’m a freelance science writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training and a master’s in clinical exercise physiology. I used to work in the clinical setting as a certified athletic trainer, physical therapy aide, and a certified strength and conditioning specialist. After working in a clinical setting, I went back to school and became a teacher. The goal of my content is to help normal people, not just premed students, learn about the human body. That might mean explaining a topic from an anatomy class or exploring a topic from medical history.
