1) Pertama, duduk di permukaan rata untuk elakkan berkedut, lipat stokin anda atau tarik dengan berhati-hati ke bahagian kaki. Parut luka anda tidak seharusnya menyentuh jahitan.

2) Bengkokkan lutut palsu dan halakan kaki palsu ke arah luar. Sekiranya lutut anda terkunci, lunjurkannya dengan menekan bahagian tuas dengan ibu jari di bahagian depan soket.

Nota: Untuk memastikan kunci berfungsi dengan baik untuk sesetengah lutut, anda perlu menggunakan tekanan. Untuk sesetangah kes besar, ahli prostetis akan maklumkan jika lutut anda memerlukan tekanan pada jari kaki.

3) Masukkan lebihan kaki (kudung), pastikan kaki ditarik sedikit.

4) Balutkan tali pinggang keliling pinggang dan kancingkan di bahagian depan.

5) Lipat stokin ke atas bingkai soket. Ini memberikan lebih keselesaan dan mengelak daripada menggelungsur ke bawah.

6) Sebelum memakai t-shirt atau blaus, silangkan tali bahu ke arah berlawanan dari tangan yang memegangnya dan ketatkan pada butang di bahagian hadapan bengkung pelvis.

7)Letakkan kaki prostetik anda sedikit ke hadapan semasa anda duduk di hujung katil. Menggunakan tangan, tolak diri anda untuk bangun. Masukkan kaki kudung ke dalam soket untuk ketatkan penyambung lutut. Jika anda mempunyai rangka berjalan, bangun dan berdiri tegak.

8)Sekiranya anggota palsu anda mempunyai kunci pada bahagian lutut, ia akan terkunci serta-merta dan anda akan mendengar bunyi klik. Pastikan lutut dikunci dengan betul sebelum anda mula berjalan.

9)Periksa kaki palsu anda sama ada ia menghala sedikit keluar dengan melihat ke bawah. Jika tidak, duduk semula dan laraskan semula kaki kudung anda ke dalam soket atau laraskan tali pinggang dan tali bahu. Masukkan kaki anda ke dalam seluar, tarik dan kancingkan.

Selesai. Kini anda sudah boleh berjalan. Ini adalah beberapa langkah yang perlu anda ketahui untuk menggunakan kaki prostetik anda.

Easy Steps To Put Your Prosthetic Legs

 Learning about taking care of your Prosthetic is important but how to wear it and remove it is also a basic duty and most important for a person having prosthetic legs. Do not need to worry, your prosthetist medical expert will guide you with the correct steps on how to wear it and remove it so that you can become independent and move freely without any hassle. Our experts from Artalive have also drafted some easy steps on how to place your prosthetic legs. Read on the blog below.

1) Firstly sit on a firm surface to avoid creases, and carefully pull or fold your socks onto your lower leg. Your scar should not be touched by the seam.

2) Bend the artificial knee and point the artificial foot outwards. If your knee is locked, first release it by applying pressure with your thumb to the lever at the front of the socket.

Note: For the lock to work properly on some knees, you may need to apply some pressure. If In a major case your knee requires pressure being applied to the toe, your prosthetist will let you know.

3) Insert your residual leg (stump), keeping the foot slightly pulled out.

4) Wrap the leather belt around your waistline and secure it with the front buckle.

5) Fold the stump socks over the socket rim. This makes it more comfortable and stops the sock from sliding down.

6) Before putting on a shirt or blouse, cross the shoulder strap you were handed over the shoulder on the other side and secure it to the stud on the front of the pelvic band.

7) Place your prosthetic foot slightly in front of you while you sit on the edge of the bed. Utilizing your hands, push yourself out of bed to stand up. Push the residual limb back to straighten the knee joint, if you have a walking frame, and stand up straight.

8) If you have a locked knee on an artificial limb, it will lock instantly and you will typically hear a click.  Make sure the knee is properly locked before you start walking.

9) Check if the artificial foot is still pointing slightly out by looking down at it. If not, get back in your seat and readjust your stump in the socket or adjust the belt and shoulder strap. Put your own leg inside the second trouser leg, pull up, and fasten if you're wearing pants.

Done. You can now start walking. These are a few easy steps you need to follow for wearing your Prosthetic legs.

"How To Safeguard And Maintain Your Artificial Limb"

 Once an arm or any extremity is amputated or lost, rehabilitation might benefit greatly from the use of a prosthetic device, or prosthesis. A prosthetic limb can increase movement, help with daily tasks, and give many people the means to retain their everyday tasks.

The prosthetic limb needs routine care because it is a mechanical device with many moving parts. It is your duty as a prosthetic user to maintain the limb socks clean and to keep the prosthetic socket and liner free of debris, fluff, or dust.

Clean It Everyday:

Do you have questions about how to properly clean a prosthetic limb or a prosthetic leg? We have got you covered. Clean thermoplastic sockets and liners with warm water and mild soap. Avoid using aggressive cleaning products since they could harm the fabric.

Don't Modify:

It may be tempting to readjust anything yourself if it feels out of place, but you should never do so when it comes to leg maintenance and prosthetic socket care. For instance, tightening the incorrect screw could harm the socket, putting you at danger for breakdown. As your limb adjusts to its socket throughout the early periods of rehabilitation, adjustments will be necessary. Your doctor should always make these adjustments.

Keep Water Damage at Bay:

When caring for an upper or lower limb prosthesis, it is important to keep it out of the water (including showering, washing, and swimming), since this can cause rust and harm to delicate mechanical components. You might want to talk about the possibilities of a waterproof prosthesis if you participate in water activities.

In Short- The journey of prosthetic rehabilitation:

As you become adjusted to new maintenance routines and enhanced mobility, new amputees take some time to get used to wearing a prosthesis. Always consult your doctor if you're unsure how to care for prosthesis or have any questions. Artalive suggests the best course of action because they are experienced and sensitive to your particular demands.
