What is the process of installing a prosthesis?

What is the process of installing a prosthesis?     After the patient's body and residual limb conditions are suitable for the installation of the prosthesis, the prosthesis installation unit should be checked first. The diagnosis and prescription should be carried out by professional technicians and enterprise personnel, and then the prosthesis should be configured according to the specified prosthesis type. The following procedures must be followed:   1. Residual limb shaping and limb residual limb training: use elastic bandages or temporary prostheses. Train EMG or leg muscles, balance, etc.   2. Take out the mold: usually wrap the residual limb with a plaster bandage, and take out the female mold of the residual limb. There are also various methods, such as air pressure, computer scanning and so on.   3. Prosthetic limb assembly: Assemble selected prosthetic limb components according to specific technical requirements, including various alignment procedures.   4. Try-on: The patient tries on the prosthesis and performs adjustments, such as dynamic alignment.   5. Training: Perform functional exercises after wearing the prosthesis.   6. Rehabilitation evaluation: The assembly unit technology and management personnel will objectively evaluate the effect of assembly and use of the prosthesis, and inform the patient of the use of the prosthesis.   Generally speaking, the above process takes 2 to 3 weeks, and the exact time depends on the practice.   shijiazhuang aosuo o&p

Types and functions of paraplegic walking devices

Types and functions of paraplegic walking devices   The paraplegic walker is an auxiliary device connected with a standard long-leg brace to help paraplegic patients "walk again".   As a result, the cardiopulmonary function, digestive system, mentality, and psychology of patients with paraplegia have been substantially changed, and they can restore ordinary functions as much as possible and improve the quality of life. At present, paraplegic walking devices can be divided into two main types: power-assisted paraplegic walking devices and non-power-assisted paraplegic walking devices.   1. Paraplegic walking device without power function   The traditional paraplegic walking device has no power-assisted function, and most of them are composed of bilateral hip, knee, ankle, and foot orthosis (HKAFO) or bilateral knee, ankle, and foot orthosis (KAFO) connected to a rigid lumbosacral orthosis through a hip joint hinge. . The patient needs to lock the hip and knee joints and fix the ankle joints. The paraplegic walking device without assisted power function mainly relies on the patient's center of gravity to lean forward and the pelvis to lean to achieve striding, and crutches must be used for standing and walking function training.   2. Paraplegic walking device with power function In recent years, the paraplegic walking device represented by ARGO (advanced reciprocating gait orthosis) has been used clinically, making it possible for patients with complete thoracic spinal cord injury below T4 to use the paraplegic walking device for practical walking. ARGO's structural design features make it not only helpful in walking, but also in the process of the patient's standing and sitting posture interchange. You can directly stand up or sit down without having to switch the hinge lock of the knee joint by hand first, and the elastic device of the knee joint brace can assist when the posture is exchanged, which is labor-saving and easy to implement. The results of the study also showed that patients had better stability when standing with ARGO, the pressure of the cane on the ground was low, and patients with T4-T9 level injuries had significantly lower oxygen consumption when walking with ARGO.   Under normal circumstances, patients with cervical spinal cord injury cannot use paraplegic walking devices. Paraplegic walking devices without mobility assistance are mainly used for patients with spinal cord injuries below T10. Patients with complete spinal cord injury above T12 level generally cannot be used with non-assisted paraplegic walking devices.   Sexual walking. For incomplete spinal cord injury, the residual muscle strength below the level of spinal cord injury in different patients is different, and the paraplegic walking device needs to be determined according to the specific situation.   shijiazhaung aosuo o&p

Ak Thigh Support Bandage Prosthetic Suspension Belt for Artificial Limbs Legs

Ak Thigh Support Bandage Prosthetic Suspension Belt for Artificial Limbs Legs   Features and applications: 1. Suspension Belt straps, with or without a waist belt. The big advantage of straps is that they are patient adjustable, which can be an important consideration when follow-up visits to the prosthetic will be difficult. Straps also accommodate gross volume changes better than any other alternative, making them the preferred suspension for people undergoing kidney dialysis or those who anticipate significant weight loss. 2. One of the most common current applications for strap and belt suspensions is to provide auxiliary suspension for participation in activities such as sports, hunting, or hiking. A removable fork strap and belt that can be applied to a prosthesis suspended by atmospheric pressure or anatomic suspension provides added security when jumping or walking through deep mud or snow.   shijiazhuang aosuo o&p

The girl who measures the world with an artificial leg

The girl who measures the world with an artificial leg This year  , a girl who “wore a prosthetic leg to get a vest lint ”became popular on the internet in the fitness video circulating on the internet . I saw the girl wearing a small fitness suit, swearing in the gym  and doing strength training , back and practice .Buttocks, leg training ... In the video, the girl has a slender figure and beaufiful muscle lines .The figure makes many peopls envious, ”“ This girl is so inspirational ！” There is no reason not rewarded !”... Netizend left comments and praised .         The girl’s name was Xiao Zhou. Under the guidance of the coach, Xiao Zhou gradually learned how to use various equipment, and her physical function was gradually improving. “The most impressive thing is the class on spinning. It’s very demanding and it’s not very convenient to ride a bicycle with a prosthesis. I couldn’t do it at the beginning. After working hard for a while, I can now challenge to ride a shared bicycle in the air. But I feel very fulfilled." She told the news reporter: "Three years may be a long time for many people, but when you get used to it, it seems that fitness is not a particularly burdensome thing, but has become a habit." Xiao Zhou also smiled and told reporters, “Before participating in fitness, I had asymmetrical waists, wearing a prosthesis on my right side, and a lot of activity on my left leg, so I had some abdominal muscles on my left belly. There was less activity on my right belly, and fat was always hoarding. I just dared Wearing a high-waisted skirt, I dared not expose my prosthesis. But with a little persistence, I found that the waistcoat line gradually appeared on my waist, and the figure became a lot slender. Now I will no longer wrap myself in loose clothes. Now I dare to wear tight clothes, and I don’t think it’s a big deal to expose the prosthesis."   This time, Xiao Zhou, who has attracted attention because of the vest line, has always been a girl who has perseverance, loves toss and lives hard. She has worn a prosthesis to more than 20 provinces across the country, all countries in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. "Although the right leg wanders, it does not affect her love of traveling, nor does it affect her to see the world with beautiful eyes. "   shijiazhuang aosuo o&p
