Lauren Cooper

EliteVT wearer

Lauren Cooper is a PE teacher and netball coach whose life changed when a collapsing wall struck her during a severe storm. In the moment she thought her life was over, she has, with determination and the right prosthetic technology, rebuilt her active lifestyle and returned to the career she loves.

Read Lauren’s full story.

The EliteVT was Lauren’s first prosthetic, chosen to help her regain the high level of activity she had before her injury. Its heel‑to‑toe movement, compression, and energy return allow her to walk farther without fatigue, adapt to changing terrain, and remain stable while performing netball pivots and passes. Paired with the BladeXT, she has the power and responsiveness she needs when her weaker right leg tyres, giving her the freedom to hike, coach, and stay on her feet throughout the school day. Whether she’s splashing through puddles on a countryside walk or planning steep hikes abroad, Lauren trusts her Blatchford legs to keep up with her ambitions.

I genuinely thought that was life done, but it hasn’t been because of the prosthetics I’ve had.
