Background
On February 9, 2023, while working a pedestrian hit and run case, Tucson Police Officer Kyle Lorenz was struck by an oncoming car. The injuries he sustained resulted in the lower leg amputation of his right leg. Quick to adapt and determined to return to full-time duty, Officer Lorenz began Rehabilitation on April 12, 2023 before being fitted for his first prosthetic device.
Solution
Referred to The PhysioShop by one of his attending nurses while in the hospital, Officer Lorenz began his work with therapists John Robert Klass, PT, DPT and Randy Cohen, PT, DPT, AT in April of 2023. With an initial focus on preparing Officer Lorenz for his first device, the team focused on manual modalities to help his wound heal, strengthen his knee motion, and improve his hip strength.
Over the course of the following year, through multiple surgeries, multiple devices, and more than 20 significant adjustments, Officer Lorenz worked with his therapists leveraging the TRAZER System to improve his balance, stability, and overall mobility. On September 11, 2023, just 7 months post-amputation, Officer Lorenz in full gear, participated in the “Never Forgotten Memorial Tower Challenge” climbing 2,071 steps representing the 110 stories of the World Trade Center Towers to honor the first responders who served and died on September 11, 2001.
