The installation of artificial limbs has brought convenience to the lives of many disabled patients and brought them new hope.
1. When is the best time to install artificial limbs?
In fact, it is not good to install artificial beauty silicone prosthesis at will. The most important thing is to know the patient's recovery. Generally speaking, after amputation, the stump will become swollen. Generally speaking, it takes about 4 months for muscles to atrophy gradually, and the swelling will gradually disappear, so that the shape of the residual limb can be basically fixed.
However, if the wound elastic bandage is used, the setting time of the residual limb can be shortened by 2-3 months.
2. Why wait until the residual limb is shaped before installing artificial beauty silicone prosthesis?
:
Because, if it is installed too early, it needs to be adjusted with muscle atrophy. When the residual limb is fixed, an artificial cosmetic silicone prosthesis can be installed to avoid the movement of the prosthetic socket caused by the change of the residual limb, or even the prosthesis can not be used.
3. Can I exercise with artificial cosmetic silicone prosthesis?
Disabled patients can walk or ride bicycles like normal people and engage in all kinds of labor through adaptive training after assembling suitable prostheses; Some people can take part in sports competitions after exercise.
4、
What are the benefits of using simulated cosmetic silicone prosthesis?
Compared with the traditional prosthesis, the simulated cosmetic silicone prosthesis has higher quality, higher degree of simulation and smaller psychological gap of patients. Moreover, the royal prosthesis can also be semi-customized according to the patient's residual limb, and the matching degree between the residual limb and the prosthesis is higher.
