Progressive O&P is also proud to announce that they are now offering, in conjunction with the Amputee Coalition of America, a BMI Calculator specifically designed for amputees. Body Mass Index or BMI is a number calculated based on a persons weight and height and is used as an estimate of the effect of that persons weight on their health. This calculator is revolutionary because before this there were limited resources for amputees concerning at home BMI calculations. Before using this calculator, amputees should be sure to follow the outlined instructions and to keep in mind that this tool is simply just an estimate.  http://www.progoandp.com/resources/for-patients-caregivers/amputee-resources/amputee-bmi-calculator/
