Coyote Prosthetics & Orthotics Hosts First Climb in Boise

August 28, 2019 – Boise,Idaho – Coyote Prosthetics and Orthotics recently hosted a most successful First Climb at Boise State University Student Recreation Center. Over 40 participants, ranging from children to seniors participated along with family members and support staff from the Idaho climbing community. The clinic, led by national paraclimber and coach, Tommy Lyon and assisted by the staff of Boise State assisted a wide range of paraclimbers up the walls and introduced few to bouldering.

“I had lots of opportunities! Before today I thought my climbing days were over. It inspired me to continue to climb” offered James Neal, a veteran and facing Parkinson’s disease. “I want to recommend to the VA. OPAF & the Coyote staff were great. Boise State staff kept us safe and gave lots of encouragement’

Annie Carey, a Boise Paralympic hopeful was on hand as was Jennifer Skeesick, regional director for CAF Idaho. We were also fortunate to have two adaptive climbers from Twin Falls join us from Gemstone Gym. It was great to have such a collaborate effort to promote paraclimbing in Idaho. TV and print media were on hand to record the event and Coyote provide a pizza lunch for everyone following First Climb.

On August 10th over 40 people had a great time at the OPAF First Climb sponsored by Coyote Prosthetics and Orthotics

We saw all ages of participants show up to this gravity defying event introducing adaptive rock climbing to many different abilities.

The goal was to show how to navigate the wall and safely use the climbing equipment no mater your physical or mobility challenge.

Many of the participants found climbing is a great way to meet peers, learn a new hobby, and develop your problem-solving skills.

It's also a great way to improve your balance,flexibility, and strength while have a blast.

Thank you everyone for participating in such a fun event!

Thank you OPAF for managing the event and Boise State University Recreation Center for letting us use your facility. The team of Rec. Center Employees were a great help.

KIVI TV First Climb Story

By KIVI TV - BOISE, ID — Coyote Prosthetics and Orthoditics and their sister company, Coyote Design, sponsored an adaptive rock climbing for anyone with a physical or mobility challenge today.

The event was free and gave amputees and people living with limb differences a chance to try adaptive rock climbing and learn new techniques.

Noted rock climber, instructor and below knee amputee, Tommy Lyons says, "You know the challenges with climbing are a mental puzzle, as well as a physical adaptation that every single person in that gym has to deal with, so for people that deal with different challenges of normal tasks every day it's a nice relief to come out and try something that everybody's got to try hard at and have the satisfaction of accomplishing."

Boise State University donated the space and the staff for today's event.

The youngest climber was five years old and the oldest was over 60.

Ghana - Brothers Tarcissius P&O Training Center

Coyote Design receives a nice thank you for sending prosthetic materials to Ghana O&P School.

I’m following up quite late with this thank you note. Attached to this message are some photos from our visit to the Brother Tarcissius Prosthetic and Orthotic Training Center (BTPOTC) in Ghana. They have a 3 year P&O program. We were there for two weeks to assist with the third years final exams. During the 2 weeks the students evaluated and casted someone in need of a KAFO or a transfemoral prosthesis, and then fabricated and fit the device. Below are photos of the 1st and 2nd years in class saying thank you for the plaster spreaders and thumb drives (they really appreciated the thumb drives!). We gave these items to the third years as well; you can see one of the third year students modifying his cast in preparation for test fitting. The 4 hole connectors were incredibly useful. You can see them preparing to do a one step lamination with the 4 hole connector positioned at the distal end of the cast in the photo of the guy holding the PVA bag. The last photo you can see the pyramid at the end of the laminated socket. Finally, we gave the plaster mixing bowls to the instructors.

Thank you again for donating these useful and generous gifts to share with the program in Ghana. We really appreciated being able to bring these tools to them.

Sincerely,

Sue Spaulding, CPO
