When choosing to fit a prosthesis , what struggles did you have?
When choosing to fit a prosthesis , what struggles did you have?
As we all know, the prosthetic knee joint is the most important accessory in the thigh prosthesis, so it is necessary to pay special attention and caution when choosing the assembly.
What is the difference between a hydraulic knee and a pneumatic knee? Are hydraulic joints more stable? Which one is more suitable? These questions will always confuse people to make choices
In the process of walking, the prosthetic knee joint first plays a role in supporting our body. But more importantly, the flexion function of the knee joint enables it to control the prosthetic limb to swing forward or backward, thus forming a complete gait cycle that supports the entire walking process.
The physiological knee joint can control the swing of the thigh softly and smoothly, and the air pressure or hydraulic system in the prosthetic knee joint also imitates the physiological knee joint and plays such a role.
Whether it is a pneumatic knee joint or a hydraulic knee joint, their working principle is to control the prosthesis with a solid line through the resistance formed by the piston movement of the cylinder to compress the air or push the hydraulic oil. Because of the different characteristics of these two media, their performance on prosthetic knee joint control is also different.

A small detail of disability rehabilitation
A small detail of disability rehabilitation
After the thigh amputation , the balance of the muscles that control the hip joint is disrupted, so the residual limb will involuntarily flex, that is, the residual limb will tilt upward in a relaxed state. The residual limb is in a flexed position for a long time, which is easy to cause flexion contracture of the hip joint, which is very unfavorable for the future installation of a thigh prosthesis.
Therefore, when resting in the supine position, it is recommended that the user lie down completely. If the residual limb is already slightly upturned, a pillow can be placed on it to press it.
For users who have just amputated, it is recommended to do more prone positions on the hospital bed, that is, lie flat on the bed with the head turned to the healthy side, or place a soft pillow under the residual limb to keep the hip joint a little stretched. Do this pose 3-4 times a day for 20-30 minutes each time.
For calf amputees, the knee joint should also be kept as straight as possible when in bed or in a wheelchair.
Everyone knows that after amputation, the residual limb is prone to edema. How to solve the problem of residual limb swelling? A simple, effective and very economical way is to use elastic bandages to shape the residual limb.
Applying pressure to the residual limb through elastic bandages is of great help to the venous return of the residual limb, the atrophy and shape of the residual limb, and can also relieve phantom limb pain to a certain extent.
Amputee users will experience discomfort when wearing a prosthesis, such as pain, muscle pulling, wound pulling, or numbness in the residual limb. At this time, the sensitivity of the surface skin of the residual limb is reduced and the tolerance of the residual limb end is increased. Strength becomes more important.
We can use a rough towel to wrap the end of the stump, then pull the ends of the towel with both hands and rub the surface of the stump back and forth. To strengthen the stimulation later, you can also use a soft brush to gently brush the end of the stump back and forth.
For the discomfort of the suture at the end of the residual limb when wearing the prosthesis, it is recommended that the user press the skin at the wound with both hands, and do relative movements along both sides of the suture, 10-15 minutes each time, and can do it several times a day. Increase the elasticity and stretch resistance of the skin at the wound.

Treat prosthetics like wearable art.
Treat prosthetics like wearable art
Meet Xiao yang, the Chinese model who’s shattering #disability preconceptions with her #prosthetic leg.
Because of her #artificial leg, fashion has always had a challenging relationship with Xiao yang.
It wasn’t until Yang met Chinese jewelry brand when they had their breakthrough: treat prosthetics like wearable art.
"This is what prosthetics means to auputee. The relationship between prosthetics and body will always be Aosuo”s creative theme and source of inspiration."

Come with me to understand the diversity of prosthetic products
Come with me to understand the diversity of prosthetic products
Prosthetics come in many shapes and sizes. You, and your prosthetist, will work together to choose the best prosthesis for you.
The type of prosthesis you have will depend on such things as:
Your general level of mobility
The condition of your residual limb (stump)
Your weight
Types of activities you do
Your ability to look after yourself and manage your healthcare
How comfortable you are with new ideas
Any other health issues.
Prosthetic components have weight limits and recommendations based on mobility. Underestimating weight or activity levels could result in a prosthesis that is not strong enough to let you be active safely and this can be dangerous. However, overestimating weight or activity could result in you wearing a prosthesis that is heavier than it needs to be. To achieve the best outcome, you need to be honest in discussions with your doctor and prosthetist.
There are many other examples of how these factors can influence what is best for you. It is not always easy. Sometimes a certain type of prosthesis looks like a great choice, but problems may occur.
If you are a lower limb amputee sometimes prostheses, or the components of a prosthesis, are referred to by their ‘K’ classification.
Componentry manufacturers often rate their components according to these classes or mobility grades. This is why your prosthetist will ask you about your activities, so they can choose componentry that is safe and effective for your lifestyle.
Regardless of your level of amputation; if you are going to use a prosthesis you need to use it regularly to maintain your skills
Using a prosthetic limb takes a large amount of energy because you have to compensate for the loss of bone and muscle of the amputated limb. A person fitted with an above knee prosthesis may need to use up to sixty percent more energy to walk. For this reason some people choose not to use a functional prosthesis. If this is the case the option of a ‘cosmetic-only’ prosthesis could be the best choice.
