    Following the results of Oscar Pistorius’ mental exams, the paralympian’s orthopaedic surgeon Dr Gerry Versfeld has said that Pistorius struggled to maintain his balance when on his stumps and wouldn’t have been able to use the cricket bat without his prosthetic legs.

    The State has previously argued Pistorius was on his stumps when he tried to break down the door with a cricket bat.

    When questioned by Gerrie Nel, Versfeld testified and said that Pistorius’ limited mobility would’ve meant he needed to hold onto something if he were to remain stable.

    Versfeld demonstrated to Judge Thokozile Masipa the difficulty Pistorius had in moving, owing to soft tissue under the athlete’s stumps which slipped easily. This made it difficult for him to turn or run, as he had to tread carefully to make sure he put pressure only on the soft tissue, to avoid pain.

    “The most amazing thing is he walked from his bedroom, with a gun in his hand to the bathroom. He fired four shots and he was on his stumps and it was all in the dark,” concluded Gerrie Nel regarding the testimony of Versveld.
