The attention for installing the thigh prosthesis

   Patients with thigh amputations generally choose prosthetic limbs according to the length of the residual limbs, and hydraulic joints are suitable for patients with knee amputation. With medium and long residual limbs can choose a number of joints, air pressure or hydraulic four-link air pressure knee joint or multi-axis geometric lock knee joint can be selected. The short stump must be locked with a multi-axis air pressure or hydraulic knee joint.

   Today, take you to understand the prosthetic knee joint. All the knee joints are mechanical joints, increasing the air pressure, hydraulic, intelligent control unit on the mechanical joint is the air pressure knee joint, hydraulic knee joint and intelligent knee joint. Some knee joints also have a multi-axis geometric lock or a single bearing heavy self-locking device.

   According to the length of the residual limb, the shape of the amputation level is different, whether there is skin grafting needs to look at the residual limb first, and then the suitable prosthetic assembly scheme is recommended within the scope of the patient's purchasing power. The walking gait is also related to the patient's age, weight, living environment and the level of the technician when the prosthetic limb was first assembled.
