Where are the prostheses installed? What kind of prostheses are best

Places where prosthetics can be installed can be divided into three categories:

In the first category, some hospitals have rehabilitation centers that install prosthetic limbs

In the second category, each province will have assistive device rehabilitation centers or prosthetic limb factories in some areas

The third category, prosthetic limb installation companies

Before installing a prosthetic limb, you must first understand the prosthetic limb

Prosthesis is not a separate finished product

It is made up of a combination of different standard components.

Let’s take the thigh prosthesis and calf prosthesis for lower limb amputation as an example:

Thigh prosthesis:

The components of the thigh prosthesis from top to bottom are: socket--connecting parts--knee joint--leg tube--(connecting parts) foot plate

Calf prostheses:

The components of the calf prosthesis from top to bottom are: socket - connecting parts - leg tube - (connecting parts) foot plate

What needs special emphasis is that except for the socket, which needs to be customized, the other parts are finished products

The principle of choosing prosthetic parts is what kind of function you want to achieve and what suits your personal situation

Whether the prosthesis wears well or not, it is important to choose a technician who makes the socket and aligns the prosthesis
