Medi-Rehatek will introduce when prosthesis will be installed after amputation.
Many patients with amputation have this view, that prosthesis assembly needs to wait a long time after the amputation.The reasons for these patients with amputation who have limb edema without having the final shape.
After the installation of prosthetic limb,the stump will shrink. Yes, that is right.Limb has edema after amputation, after the installation of prosthetic limb the residual limb will shrink.But amputees still should install the prosthesis as soon as possible.Before the first installation of temporary prostheses ,we need to promote the residual limb to have final shape, that will lay the foundation for the installation of a formal prosthesis.
In some places abroad, the patient's stump is installed with plaster socket after amputation surgery.The socket is connected to the prosthetic feet. The patient can walk out of bed as soon as practicing. Or waiting until the amputation wound is healing and stitches are taken out , patients need installation of artificial limbs as soon as possible.
At present, some prosthetic companies pick up the patients from hospital to install the prosthetic limbs, who does not promote the final shape of residual limb in that time.This is wrong to make patients wear the prosthesis formally. The stump will shrink fiercely after wearing prosthesis.
Even medical institutions should allow patients to wear bandages to promote the final type of residual limb. After the initial stereotypes, the patients need installing one or more prosthetic sockets .After 3 months when the shape of stump doesn’t change,patients can go to prosthetic company to replace prosthesis.
