Limb prosthetics are aimed at restoring motor activity and returning to a full life. Unfortunately, even modern prostheses cannot completely replace a healthy limb, but they allow the use of leg prostheses to be as close as possible to meeting the patient's motor needs. They allow not only walking, but also running and other sports.
Stages of denture manufacturing:
conducting anthropometric data measurements
making a plaster anatomical model of the stump by applying plaster bandages, carefully modeling the cast on the patient, unloading problem areas. Based on the obtained plaster cast (negative), a plaster model (positive) is made, taking into account anthropometric data and anatomical features
manufacturing of a fitting sleeve followed by manufacturing of a permanent one
fitting and training in using the prosthesis
product adjustment and refinement
issuance of the finished product for permanent use
Frequently asked questions about lower limb prosthetics
Lower limb prosthetics are aimed at restoring the patient's motor activity and returning them to a full life. The goal is to ensure the ability to move independently and comfortably perform daily activities.
Unfortunately, even modern lower limb prostheses cannot completely replace a healthy leg. However, they allow for maximum restoration of motor functions, bringing them closer to a person's natural capabilities.
Modern leg prostheses allow not only to walk confidently, but also to run, play sports, and lead an active lifestyle. Individual selection and adjustment ensure comfort, stability, and naturalness of movements.
Lower limb prosthetics — return to active life
Lower limb prosthetics — is the process of restoring motor function after the loss of a leg using modern prostheses. The main goal is to return a person to the fullest, most independent life. Thanks to the development of technology, modern leg prosthetics allow not only to move confidently, but also to play sports, travel and lead an active lifestyle.
Modern lower limb prosthetics
Modern lower limb prosthetics are made of light, durable and hypoallergenic materials. They provide comfort, stability and naturalness of movements. There are several types of prosthetics: lower limb prostheses (below the knee); hip prostheses (above the knee); sports prostheses for running or playing sports; cosmetic prostheses with a realistic appearance. Each prosthesis is selected individually, taking into account the level of amputation, the patient's lifestyle and his physical capabilities.
Production of leg prostheses
The production of a lower limb prosthesis begins with a consultation with an orthopedist-prosthetist and taking accurate measurements of the stump. Then, an individual plaster or 3D model is created, according to which the receiving sleeve and all mechanical or electronic components are manufactured. After the fitting, adjustments are made to ensure proper cushioning, balance and comfort while walking.
Rehabilitation after amputation
An important stage is rehabilitation after a leg amputation. Specialists teach the patient how to use the prosthesis correctly, develop muscles, restore coordination and balance. Rehabilitation helps to return to a normal lifestyle faster and avoid complications.
