Amputee Builds Lego Prosthetic Leg



Christina Stephens lost her left leg last year after it was crushed under a car she was rebuilding.

Now, she's turned her disability into a strength claiming the ability to explore the extra space below her stump makes her feel "superhuman."

Stephens, who became famous after a video of her creating a prosthetic leg out of Legos went viral, said she decided to create the Lego leg after a co-worker dared her to do it.

"Challenge accepted," she reportedly responded to the dare.

“I liked the idea, because I am very comfortable with my body and like encouraging others to be more comfortable with theirs,” she said.

It took her 2 days to create the prosthetic leg out of Legos, but she says it isn't completely practical as she can only walk short distances with it. She's currently planning to build a "Lego Leg 2.0" that will include a functional ankle and foot.
