Artificial limb compensation calculator| to see how much compensation you can get for your prosthetic leg.

About the key elements and basis in the prosthetic compensation calculator:

• The latest average life expectancy of Chinese people is 78.2 years. This data has a clear source of evidence. It is usually derived from demographic reports published by authoritative organizations such as the National Bureau of Statistics. For example, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics in 2022, the average life expectancy of Chinese residents has reached 78.2 years. Applying this average lifespan data to the calculation of prosthetic limb compensation can more comprehensively and reasonably consider the future life needs of the injured and the cycle of prosthetic limb replacement.

• The replacement period of the prosthesis is set to be replaced every 3 or 5 years. This setting is not determined out of thin air, but is based on comprehensive considerations from many aspects. On the one hand, during long-term use, prosthetic limbs will inevitably be affected by factors such as wear and aging, and their performance and comfort will gradually decrease. On the other hand, as the physical condition of the injured changes and prosthetic technology continues to advance, regular replacement of prostheses helps to better adapt to new physical conditions and life needs. Numerous clinical practices and related studies have shown that under normal use, after 3 to 5 years of use, the parts of a prosthetic limb may experience varying degrees of wear and deformation, which may even affect the normal movement and life of the injured person.

• The price of prosthetic limbs cannot exceed local regulations on prosthetic limbs of general applicability. This provision is intended to ensure the reasonable use and equitable distribution of compensation. Each locality will formulate relevant standards for generally applicable prostheses based on their own economic development levels, medical resource conditions, market prices and other factors. For example, in economically developed areas, due to factors such as advanced medical technology and high material costs, the price of general applicable prostheses may be relatively high; while in relatively economically backward areas, local consumption levels and medical security capabilities will be comprehensively considered to formulate price standards that are more in line with the actual situation.
