Medi-Rehatek will introduce classification of lower limb prosthesis today.
(A) According to the material selection and structure, it can be divided into wood, leather, aluminum, plastic prostheses; currently major prosthetic assembly companies, aluminum alloy is the most widely popular, most reliable quality of artificial limbs, so most prosthetic companies will recommend aluminum alloy prosthesis to patients.
(B) According to the structure and transmission, it can be divided into hinge-type prosthesis, mechanical transmission prostheses, hydraulic/pneumatic transmission prosthesis, etc., from the view of safety and comfort ,hydraulic and pneumatic prosthesis have unparalleled advantages.
(C) Classification of the amputation site,it can be divided to half prosthetic foot,ankle prosthesis, below-knee prosthesis,knee articulation prosthesis, thigh prosthesis, hip articulation prosthesis and so on. Because of the different amputation site and prosthetic structure, the magnitude of compensatory function is also different.
The better the compensation function of prosthesis with the same amputation site is, the higher the price is certainly.So patients need to combine their own situation, seriously consider assembly program of prosthetic company.
