Before Getting a Prosthetic Leg, Here's What You Should Know

Prosthetic legs, also known as prostheses, can make it easier for people who have had their legs amputated to move around. They have the same function and, in some cases, the same appearance as a real leg. With a prosthetic limb, some people still need a cane, walker, or crutches to walk, while others can walk without them.

Evaluation

According to research, the earlier a person's prosthesis is fitted, the less time they need to recover. A comprehensive evaluation with your prosthetist will be the first step. He or she will assess your physical condition, including the state of your residual limb and whether it has healed sufficiently to accommodate the prosthesis' stresses on your skin. Your prosthetist will also ask you questions about your present lifestyle as well as your objectives and desires throughout the evaluation. Your responses will aid your prosthetist in determining which components should be included in the construction of the best prosthetic limb for you.

 

Your Leg Prosthesis Needs May Change

You may realise that your present leg prosthesis isn't as functional as you'd like it to be at some point. Perhaps your residual limb has stabilised, and you're ready to upgrade from a short-term prosthesis to one that will last three to five years. Perhaps you've "outwalked" your prosthesis by moving faster or in a different way than it was intended. New pain, discomfort, or a lack of stability are all signals that it's time to talk to your prosthetist about reassessing your needs.

 

Your prosthetist may suggest that you tweak your present equipment or replace a component. Alternatively, you could be prescribed a new prosthetic leg, which happens every three to five years on average. It's critical to spend time learning how to use new components if you obtain them. Physical therapy might assist you in adjusting to your new prosthetic leg's new components.
