Rehabilitation doctor, candidate of medical sciences Alexander Shishonin said that Roman Kostomarov can certainly skate after wearing prosthetics instead of cut shins, but will not rise to the previous level of skating. Words of an expert drive the portal aif.ru.
“The novel will of course be able to do some elements. This is absolutely obvious. But it is unlikely that he will do this as skillfully as before, ”said Shishonin.
The doctor stressed that the Olympic champion should now be mentally prepared for the fact that he will skate differently – not like before the amputation.
“Medicine cannot be reduced to the fact that if some function is lost, it is fully restored,” Shishonin said. “But actually the capabilities of the human body are enormous. The human body is so adaptable to any activity that is not unique to it that it is simply amazing.
It was previously reported that Kostomarov underwent surgery on the second leg in the row – hands.
