Amputee builds her own prosthetic leg — out of LEGO
Christina Stephens, a clinical researcher and occupational therapist, lost her foot and lower leg after a crush injury.
She recently impressed her Facebook and YouTube followers — she provides resources for fellow amputees online — with her homemade prosthetic leg built out of LEGO.
"Someone in my research lab jokingly suggested I make a prosthetic leg out of Legos. The joke's on you — I went home and did it. Please don't do this yourself, I don't want you to fall and get hurt!" Stephens wrote on YouTube.
"Sometimes, you just need to be silly."

"She is now the first person in history to be happy to step on a Lego," wrote Burnthissss on Gizmodo.
