Randy Richardson

Randy Richardson, ABC Certified and Oklahoma State Licensed prosthetist assistant and co-founder of Dream Team Prosthetics LLC. Randy was first exposed to the world of prosthetics in 1988 and was inspired to dedicate his entire career to helping those with limb loss reach their maximum potential using advanced prosthetic technology.

In 1995, Randy identified a need for a specialized treatment solution for individuals with bilateral above knee limb loss. He studied this specific patient population to better understand why the majority of them ultimately rejected prosthetic use. Many appeared to have the potential to be ambulatory, however, most chose to rely on a wheelchair for mobility. The advent of microprocessor knee systems with the introduction of the Ottobock C-Leg in 1998, provided a platform that would enable bilateral above knee prosthetic users to have consistent and unprecedented hydraulic support throughout the gait cycle. Most beneficial is microprocessor regulated hydraulic stance phase yielding support when walking down hills, ramps, stairs or stepping off curbs. In addition, microprocessor regulated hydraulic swing insures the knee will extend appropriately whether walking fast or slow. 

Through his efforts, he developed and refined treatment protocols for individuals with bilateral above knee limb loss that has resulted in a high level of functional, full-time prosthetic users. A critical component for ongoing peer support is the annual Dream Team Prosthetics Bilateral Life Camp. This event empowers individuals with bilateral limb loss to come together to learn, share ideas and to see what functional outcomes are possible. This approach has been the focus of numerous clinical articles that have been published in the O & P Edge magazine,  Amputee Coalition magazine InMotion and other industry publications such as the American Academy of Orthotists & Prosthetists magazine Academy Today.

Randy continues to dedicate his efforts to working with component manufacturers to develop and improve advanced technology and rehabilitation methods for the specific treatment of bilateral above knee amputees.
