Ottobock has named David Berling of Avondale, Ariz. the June winner and Mike Hodges of Eden Prairie, Minn. the July winner of its C-Leg 15-year anniversary photo contest.
The contest marks the arrival of the C-Leg in the United States in 1999 and portrays users in photos or videos highlighting the life-changing impact of the device.
Berling, an active duty Air Force captain, lost both of his legs in a private plane crash in 2007. His C-Legs have given him the mobility and freedom to continue flying, according to a company press release.
