Weight affects prosthetic comfort


Release Time:

Oct 20,2021

Weight affects prosthetic comfort Some patients and editors reported that the feet are a bit hard, and the experience is not as good as before. Here, the editor will explain in detail the relationship between weight and prostheses. Every lower limb prosthesis has a weight-bearing range. If the weight is higher than the weight of the prosthesis, it is easy to cause damage to the prosthesis, and the weight is too much below the weight-bearing limit. Some phenomena such as hard feet will occur. The prosthetic master’s suggestion is that the weight of the fitted prosthesis exceeds the limit of the prosthesis by about 20 kg, because the weight of the user of the prosthesis must not be higher than the weight limit of the prosthesis, then the weight of the patient must be below the limit of the prosthesis, too much, too little. It's not so good. It is best for prosthetic patients to take a scientific and reasonable degree. For the prostheitc foot plate, weight is not the main factor determining the comfort of the prosthesis. Because each calf prosthesis has a different design and different forces, the people who use it are also different. For example, some comfortable calf prosthetic feet, as long as the patient's weight is within the maximum weight-bearing range of the foot, regardless of the patient's weight distance and the maximum weight-bearing amount, it will not affect the comfort, because it is designed for the patient to use the calf prosthesis very comfortable . However, some energy-storing feet are different. It is designed to compress the feet through suitable gravity for the patient to walk, and the feet will then generate reaction forces to make the patient walk more easily. The greater the weight, the greater the reaction force, but the greater the weight, the easier it is to damage the prosthesis, so at this time, the patient's weight must be carefully considered to fit the standard of the prosthesis. shijiazhaung aosuo o&p
