Initial installation of above-knee prosthesis

Medi-Rehatek will discuss whether initial installation of above-knee prosthesis will cause  pain.

People know little about prostheses, first of all let's learn what above-knee prosthesis is composed of. Above-knee prosthesis is composed of prosthetic foot, ankle, shank, knee, sockets, suspension devices etc . In fact, how does an above-knee prosthesis work? Actually it depends on the condition of patient. Not every amputation patient will achieve his ideal effect. Then you need to have more patience and perseverance, are not afraid of hardship, do not rush. Like Chinese old saying “  You can’t become a fatty for one dinner”.You should maintain a good attitude.



Will above-knee prosthesis cause pain, first you have to check if the prosthesis is fit for your body. In fact, it is not terrible. Your mental obstacles is terrible. When you adapt it and are not nervous,you will like it little by little.



On the initial installation of prosthetic legs, training must be gradual.The first day of training, you practice for a while and rest for a while.If there is no pain, you can continue practicing. If you find out that the bearing-load site has friction pain,take prosthesis off, spread some cool oil on the area of pain.If skin grazes, you should use bland drugs instead. After the swelling disappears, you can gradually increase the exercise time and frequency.




First you have indoor training activities. When there is certainty, you can go to outdoor activities.
