Instructions for use of prostheses and service guide

Instructions for use of prostheses and service guide Amputees often wear prostheses . In order to ensure the normal use of prostheses, perform their functions well, and prolong their service life, the following items should be noted. 1. Formally accept the maintenance of the cavity: (including the sleeve silicone soft sleeve) 1. The upper limb arm tube and lower limb receiving cavity should be kept clean every day, cleaned before going to bed, and allowed to dry naturally. 2. After wearing the upper limb arm tube and lower limb receiving cavity for a period of time, the residual limb atrophy may sometimes occur. At this time, the residual limb socks can be worn or the leather pad can be adjusted to keep wearing and walking safe. If it is still too loose, please contact the company in time to avoid falling after slipping, and replace the receiving cavity if necessary. 3. Precautions for wearing silicone and gel soft covers: (Use correctly under the guidance of a technician) (1) Cleaning method: Clean the inner side with neutral soapy water every day, and air dry naturally. (It is better to use care solution). (2) Avoid scratches and tears from sharp and rough objects; avoid high temperature exposure and baking; avoid strong stretching. 2. Temporary receiving cavity and temporary prosthesis. 1. Temporary receiving cavity and temporary prosthesis are used for observation, shaping, and stabilization of residual limbs for amputees who are newly fitted with prostheses. 2. Temporary prostheses are only used for weight-bearing, support, joint mobility and training strength and sense of walking of the residual limb. 3. Maintenance of structural parts 1. The structural parts of the prosthesis can be used normally according to the after-sales warranty period. In general, we will go to the prosthesis company for maintenance and maintenance regularly for 3 to 6 months. If there is an abnormality, contact the prosthetic company to resolve it properly. 2. In order to prevent damage to the structure and prolong the service life of the prosthesis, the prosthesis should not be used and stored in humid or harsh environments. 3. The user is strictly prohibited to disassemble the prosthesis without the permission of the technician! 4. Vulnerable parts: Myoelectric hand skins, valve covers, belts, contour sponges, contour socks, etc. are not covered by the warranty, and should be used normally and reasonably, and pay attention to maintenance. Fourth, the phenomenon that is easy to appear when the prosthesis is first installed Blisters, discomfort, and muscle aches appear after the residual limb is put on the receiving cavity; back muscles are sore and painful; the healthy leg may be prone to fatigue or pain due to too much weight. 5. Daily care of residual limbs 1. Keep the residual limbs clean every day and check the changes of the residual limbs at any time. 2. Check the skin of the residual limb in contact with the receiving cavity or arm tube every day. If there is any abnormality, seek medical treatment or contact the prosthetic company. So that it can be resolved in time. During the treatment, you are reminded that it is best not to wear prosthetics or wear less prostheses until healed, so as to avoid aggravating infections and other unexpected occurrences. Sixth, some suggestions 1. Pay attention to the height of the heel when wearing prostheses and changing shoes. Newcomers should not wear flat shoes, and wear travel shoes and casual shoes as much as possible. When changing shoes, the heel height should not exceed plus or minus 7.5px-12.5px when the prosthesis was first installed. Or contact a prosthetic company. 2. In order to make the prosthesis comfortable to wear, each wearer should pay attention to keeping the weight plus or minus no more than 3 kg. 3. Patients with pathological amputation or special skin (such as skin grafts, adhesive skin, etc.) should follow the instructions of the technician when wearing prostheses. 4. Pay attention to the changes of the skin during the change of seasons. Skin wrinkles and dryness are prone to occur, and care should be taken to moisturize and protect the skin. 7. Precautions for myoelectric hand skin, precautions for the use of batteries and how to use the charger 1. Be careful not to touch sharp objects and ink on the hand skin of myoelectric hand to avoid damage and dirt (all dirt can't be washed off). 2. The battery must be charged with a dedicated battery charger. Keep away from heat sources during storage and keep in a low temperature, dry environment. 3. Don't throw the battery into fire or water. Do not disassemble or modify the packaged battery by yourself. 4. For long-term storage, 50% discharge state must be maintained. 5. Connect the DC output circular plug of the charger to the socket of the charging base, and insert the power plug of the charger into an AC 220v power socket. At this time, the yellow indicator light in the middle of th

Can an amputee exercise while wearing a prosthesis?

Can an amputee exercise while wearing a prosthesis?    AS the saying goes ,good life  lies in exercise. Although the prosthesis is installed after amputation, it will not affect our simple exercise. At home, it is good for the body to recommend that everyone exercise more. Can an amputee exercise while wearing a prosthesis? What are the health benefits of wearing a prosthesis ?     After amputation, some patients choose a small amount of exercise because it is not convenient to move. After a long period of time, the muscles of the amputation site will gradually atrophy, and it will be more difficult to exercise in the later stage. Therefore, when we perform exercises that require rehabilitation training after the prosthesis is installed, we must have a professional doctor to carry out the exercises. Appropriate exercise can properly stimulate the joint capsule and other tissues, expand the activity of the prosthetic joints, enhance the muscle strength and endurance of the limbs, and promote the recovery of motor function, so that the patient can better experience the fun of exercise, thereby adjusting the patient's psychology and spirit State, enhance the self-information of their life. When improving the incorrect exercise pattern, the main purpose is to establish a normal exercise pattern to improve the patient's ability to move the body and stand and walk, improve the patient's body movement balance and coordination ability, and improve the ability of daily living activities and self-care ability.   This can improve the overall physical  fitness of patients with amputations, improve the overall functional status and improve the functions of the heart, lungs and other internal organs. To a certain extent, it can prevent and treat various clinical complications, such as pressure sores, muscle spasms, joint contractures, osteoporosis, etc. symptom. Regarding the problem that prostheses can be used for running, Hangzhou prosthesis manufacturers remind amputation patients that because of different physical constitutions, such as different amputation parts, or different lengths of amputations, the types of prosthetic assistive devices worn are not the same. In this case, the sports situation is also different. different. In order to reduce the burden on your body, try not to do high-intensity exercise, especially if you feel abnormal, you should stop in time, and then consult a professional for further treatment. In the process of wearing ordinary prostheses, many people rarely run and their running speed is limited. In comparison, there are other types of assistive devices on the market. 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. If you really want to exercise, you need to have a lot of professional personnel to communicate with each other, and then carry out appropriate rehabilitation training so that you can recover basic life and self-care.   SHIJIAZHUANG AOSUO O&P

Problems that may occur when walking with a prosthesis

Problems that may occur when walking with a prosthesis When the patient walks with a prosthetic leg, they move hard or push forward. This is usually caused by a change in heel height that may be lower than or above the original heel. The temporary solution is to fill something in the heel or front palm but do not use hard things to damage the feet. Fill is just a temporary adjustment and wearing shoes with the right heel height is the key.   If a sound is found at the joint and the prosthesis, check the fixing screws at the joint for loosening. Under normal circumstances, the contact surface of the fixed screws is too small enough. After a period of use, the contact is not in place, there will be sound at the pipe joint, and the prosthetic leg will produce noise. If the fixing screws are loose, they can be fixed with a special screwdriver, and the noise can’t be heard after repair. When wearing a calf prosthetic, gently massage the stump several times a day, which will help reduce the sensitivity to the residue and increase its stress tolerance.   SHIJIAZHUANG AOSUO O&P
