Watch & amputees

I just got an Apple Watch (series os 8.0), and am one-legged, and only use crutches to walk (not a prosthetic). The “fall risk” warning looks like it would be useful, but from what I read, the crutches and amputation would mess with the assessment. Also, keeping track of steps taken does not work right for folks like me. I have no idea how, or even if, this could be addressed (glad there is a wheelchair setting, at least).


There are around 2 million amputees in the US, with an estimated 185,000 new lower limb amputations every year, so there are more than a few of us. Thanks!
