Pakar kami di Artalive telah menyediakan langkah-langkah mudah untuk pemakaian kaki prostetik anda. Baca blog kami untuk lebih lanjut.

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.

" Diabetic Foot "

 

Diabetes  Mellitus is a chronic disease that affects up to 6% of the population (higher in the older age groups).

• Type of Diabetes

Insulin is a hormone made by your pancreas acts like a key to let blood sugar into the cells in your body for use as energy. When diabetes is present, either the body produces less or no insulin (Type 1) or the body tissues are resistant to the effects of diabetes (Type 2). This results in higher levels of glucose in the blood, which can damage a whole range of body tissues and organs.

• The foot is especially affected by diabetes because:

Diabetes damages the nerves (damage can occur to the foot and not be detected because of lack of sensation) – this is called peripheral neuropathy.

-diabetes also affect the circulation. Poor circulation can affect the ability of the body to heal when damage occurs.

-those with diabetes are more prone to infection – the body’s processes that normally fight infection respond slower and often have trouble getting to infections due to the poor circulation.

• How Diabetes is the main cause of foot amputations ?

Charcot’s joints is another complication of diabetes in the foot, especially if peripheral neuropathy is present – the neuropathy cause a numbness (imagine spraining your ankle and not knowing you have done this. You will continue to walk on it – imagine the damage that this would do. This is what happens in a Charcot foot)

• Management

If you have diabetes, there are a lot of things you need to do to prevent the problems from developing in your feet:

1. Checking blood sugar levels

2. Wash your feet daily (use a mild soap and lukewarm water).

3. Inspect your foot daily (check sores, cuts, bruises, changes to the toenails; use a mirror to look under the foot if you can not see it).

5. Look after your feet (e.g. cut toenails often, do not try remove corns and calluses yourself, avoid walking barefoot

6. Fitting of footwear is very important. 

7. Wear an orthotic that offloads pressure on your feet.

8. See your doctor, at least annually.

• How Custom made insole can help the patient with diabetic foot

 Custom made insoles are designed to  give extra comfort  and relieve foot pain,  Indicated for diabetic patients with neuropathic foot, corns, callus and patient who are prone to get wounds on the plantar surface.

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

 Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation caused by excessive stretching of the plantar fascia.

The plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue which runs along the bottom surface of the foot, attaching at the bottom of the heel bone and extending to the forefoot. When the plantar fascia is excessively stretched, this can cause plantar fasciitis, which can also lead to heel pain, arch pain, and heel spurs.

Causes

Plantar Fasciitis often leads to heel pain, heel spurs, and/or arch pain. The excessive stretching of the plantar fascia that leads to the inflammation and discomfort can be caused by the following:

- Over-pronation (flat feet) which results in the arch collapsing upon weight bearing

- A foot with an unusually high arch

- A sudden increase in physical activity

- Excessive weight on the foot, usually attributed to obesity or pregnancy

- Improperly fitting footwear

- Over-pronation (flat feet) is the leading cause of plantar fasciitis. 

Solutions

A good custom made insoles with flexible arch support and rearfoot posting is an effective device to reduce the over-pronation and allow the condition to heal.

WHAT IS THE BEST INSOLE FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS:

THE 4 FEATURES A PLANTAR FASCIITIS INSOLE MUST HAVE TO BE EFFECTIVE

1. CUSTOM MADE ARCH SUPPORT

Custom made Arch support is important for any plantar fasciitis insole as it lessens the foot pain that you feel when walking and standing for long periods. Arch support provides stability, helps you maintain balance, and distributes pressure across your feet. 

2. SHOCK ABSORPTION 

One of the best features of a plantar fasciitis insole is shock absorption. A good insole is designed to minimize the amount of stress you put on your plantar fascia and joints. 

3. PROPERLY ALIGNED HEEL CUSHION

The soft cushioning of an insole is one of the factors that determine the level of comfort and support that is provided. 

4. FIT YOUR SHOE CORRECTLY

You should always make sure the insoles you purchase fit your shoes correctly. Your heels should not slip, and the insole should fit comfortably.
