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.
