图片
When it comes to selecting a prosthetic foot, the importance of making an informed decision cannot be overstated. A prosthetic foot is not just a functional replacement; it plays a pivotal role in restoring mobility, comfort, and confidence to individuals who have experienced limb loss. With advancements in   prosthetic technology , there are numerous options available, each tailored to specific needs and preferences. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the key factors to consider when choosing the right prosthetic foot, ensuring a better quality of life and enhanced mobility for prosthetic users. Type of Amputation The type of amputation you've undergone significantly influences the type of  prosthetic foot  that would be suitable for you. Whether it's a below-the-knee (transtibial) or above-the-knee (transfemoral) amputation, the mechanics of walking and weight distribution differ. Prosthetic feet are designed to mimic the natural movement and mechanics of the hum

The human body is a marvel of engineering, and our ankles play a crucial role in maintaining balance, stability, and mobility. When issues arise that affect ankle function, orthotic solutions step in to provide the necessary support and correction. Orthotic ankle joints are specialized devices designed to improve biomechanics, alleviate pain, and promote proper alignment. In this article, we'll delve into the world of   orthotic ankle joints , understanding their purpose, benefits, and contributions to enhanced mobility. What are Orthotic Ankle Joints? Orthotic ankle joints are medical devices, often made from a combination of lightweight materials such as plastic, metal, and foam, that are engineered to address a range of ankle-related conditions. These conditions can include ankle injuries, sprains, fractures, arthritis, tendonitis, and various forms of foot and ankle deformities. The primary aim of an orthotic ankle joint is to provide external support and alignment to the ankle

How to maintain prosthesis

Maintenance after the prosthesis is installed mainly includes: (1) The receiving cavity part. One is to keep the inner surface of the receiving cavity clean. Wash or wipe the socket and inner liner with light soapy water or warm water, and let it dry naturally; wash and replace the stockings of the stump every day to keep it clean and prevent skin infection. The second is to pay attention to the generation of cracks. If it is found that small cracks or cracks appear on the surface of the receiving cavity, it is necessary to seek professional repairs in time to avoid damage to the skin. (2) The part outside the receiving cavity. One is the parts. Looseness and abnormal sound of the prosthesis indicate that the parts are damaged and should be repaired or replaced in time to avoid injury. The second is the outer decorative soft cover. The outer decorative soft cover of the lower limb prosthesis, especially the front of the knee joint, is more likely to be damaged, and attention should be
