HOW DOES THE WEIGHT OF AN ARTIFICIAL LEG COMPARE TO A NATURAL LEG?

The weight of your prosthetic will depend on the type of limb and the components used. 4 lbs is the average weight of the typical below knee prosthetic. 8 lbs is the average weight of the typical above knee prosthetic.  A natural leg is commonly 1/6 of your bodyweight.
