For example, sports prostheses are mainly used to help people exercise, but the premise is gait exercises and Training to maintain balance is indispensable. When the balance of force and gait are okay, ask yourself why you want to run.   If you want to run, it means that the lower limbs have to bear most of the weight of the body. It is very likely that abnormal conditions such as skin abrasion, redness and swelling of the residual limbs will occur. It is still necessary to try these exercises with a certain intensity as little as possible.
