What Should Be Considered When Buying Leg Prosthesis

Leg prostheses are among the most important products for amputees. Even if we assume that almost everyone is a candidate for disability, we can easily understand how important the construction and functions of prosthesis are. The prosthesis should have a special design according to the amputated areas and should have the features that can meet the wishes of the person who will use it.
 
Leg prostheses must first be designed individually. Prostheses that are not designed specifically for the person, unfortunately, may cause the person using the prosthesis to deal with serious ailments. Especially according to the width of the amputated area, the appropriate hip prosthesis, knee prosthesis or lower extremity prosthesis should be preferred. Then, it requires a special design according to the height, weight and daily load function of the person who will use it.
 
In addition, the daily activity rate of the user should be clearly determined and a functional prosthesis should be designed accordingly. Unfortunately, buying ordinary prostheses will cause you to load your other leg more, and it can also cause the amputated area to spread over a large area.
 
At the same time, leg prostheses should be used regularly for the first few months after removal and it is recommended to consult with your prosthesis specialist regularly. After starting to use the prosthesis, redness, itching, swelling, etc. in the amputated area. In such cases, it is recommended to stop using the prosthesis and turn to prostheses that are compatible with you.
