Comics tell you how to put on a prosthetic limb.

If you still don’t know how to put on a prosthetic limb and what kind of process it takes to put on a prosthetic limb, the following will tell you the process of putting on a prosthetic limb in the form of comics and accompanying text. With proper rehabilitation and training prosthetics will become a normal part of your life. Prosthetics come in many shapes, forms, and many functions, so finding one that's right for you will be a great place to start.

1. First work with your doctor or prosthetist to take necessary limb rehabilitation training. Depending on the amount of activity you do and the goals you have set will help you determine which prosthesis is better for you.

2. Meet with your prosthetist and provide initial guidance.

He will guide you through rehabilitation exercises with your prosthesis so that you can walk correctly and safely. You wear a temporary prosthesis at this time until you can wear a permanent prosthesis.

3. Understand your temporary prosthesis.

.Your temporary prosthesis will have a simpler design than your permanent prosthesis. It will have a socket, which is the important part that connects your residual limb to the prosthetic limb, and then has fake packaging made to look like a real hand, foot, or other limb. Keep wearing compression stockings every day. Gradually add socks as the size of the residual limb adjusts.

4. When your residual limb is stable, you can wear a permanent prosthesis; . This may take 6 to 12 months. If your prosthesis has a silicone cover, roll the silicone cover onto the residual limb so that the pins are centered.

5. Put on your prosthetic socks, add additional socks if you need more layers of socks to hold your limb in place.

6. Place your stump into the prosthetic socket and push it down until your needle clicks and locks.

7. Be aware of the warning signs of an ill-fitting prosthesis. If you experience any of these problems please see your prosthetist. If your prosthesis feels heavy on you or feels difficult to move, this may mean it is too loose. Open sores or blisters on the remaining limb may mean that the limb is too tight or too loose. If this happens, stop using the prosthesis until you can wear it. If necessary, you can also see a doctor to treat the wound. If you walk and your residual limb moves up and down inside the socket, please contact your prosthetic company
