Hi,
First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, you need to consult the rehabilitation center for this purpose and can get a prosthetic leg and that too is the latest thing with marked effectiveness.
Otherwise, the recently advanced prosthesis is also good in this regard.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
