Stability is divided into two layers: 1) Static support is stable: When the foot is loaded, resist unexpected bending of the knee and hitting the soft leg; 2...
Many people who buy prosthetic limbs are easily fooled by businesses and have stepped on many pits. It is important to remember that the common rhetoric of prosthetic limb sales is all routine, don't take it seriously. Many salespeople will say that showing a disability card can be discounted, and providing a proof of poverty can be further discounted. In fact, this is not an exclusive benefit at all, it is just a marketing tool for merchants. Regardless of whether you have these credentials, th
In the public eye, there are many professions that are essential for cooling the door, and prosthetic technicians are one of them. The public is familiar with medical devices, rehabilitation and medical care, and understands various disability assistance policies, but few people know that there is such a group of practitioners who silently reshape the hope of walking and build a bridge back to normal life for those with missing limbs. They are the artisans at the heart of the prosthetic industry
Many friends who install prosthetics for the first time will struggle with a core question: How many years does it take to replace a prosthesis? Many people have heard from salespeople that "prosthetic limbs must be replaced in 3-5 years", and over time, it is defaulted to a fixed standard. But in fact, this is a common cognitive misunderstanding among the public. Replacement cycles for prosthetics have never been uniformly fixed with standard answers, not until…
1. Legal qualification of the disability certificate: It is illegal by nature, and it is by no means a "gray area" disability certificate. It refers to the fact that the disabled person does not actually arrive at the job, does not provide real labor, and only "rents/lends" the disability certificate to the enterprise. The enterprise uses this to declare the employment placement of the disabled person, reduce and exempt the disability insurance premium, defraud tax preferences, and pay a small a

Over the years, I have been following the development of the prosthetic industry, especially the upper limb prosthesis. To be honest, for a long time in the past, I did not have high expectations for so-called "smart prosthetic hands". Not because these products don't do a good job, but because their technical routes dictate that they never really solve a problem: how to actually replace a person's lost hand function. Now…
Many amputees will face a large number of prosthetic institutions before and after they are discharged from the hospital. In a short time, they will receive phone calls and home visits from many prosthetic companies, covering various topics such as products and life chat. Most ordinary people do not understand the relevant knowledge of the prosthetic industry, the information is asymmetric, it is easy to fall into the wrong choice, and it is impossible to objectively judge the strength of the pr

The online information is complicated, true and false, and the ranking of prosthetic limb companies on various platforms confuses products and ser
