What is a popular amputee message board/forum?

I am a college student conducting research specific to amputees and prosthetics involved in sports. I need to find a good discussion group relating to the issue. Does anyone have the name of a message board or forum for amputees involved in athletics?

Is an active amputee forum. You will find amputees there who can point you in the right direction if they can't answer your specific question. The moderater is a DAK weight lifter so is well connected in that sport.

has a lot of sport specific links.

Good for you that is a noble profession. Sadly, will be growing by leaps and bounds when the Iraq soldiers come back. Psychologically, I think this is an excellent way to help those young women and men recover.

there is a website called www.stumpsrus.com that is upbeat and really helpful to my dad after his lower leg amputation.
