The use of prosthetics and orthotics is a crucial process that improves individuals' daily quality of life, supports mobility, and helps them lead independent lives. However, regular check-ups and adjustments are vital to obtain maximum benefit from the prosthesis and ensure healthy use.

 

Canerdem, with its expertise in the field of prosthetics and orthotics, aims to provide users with a comfortable, safe, and healthy experience in the long term.

 

Why are Regular Check-ups Necessary in Prosthetic Use?

 

The human body changes over time. Weight gain or loss, differences in muscle structure, skin sensitivities, and the intensity of daily use directly affect the fit of the prosthesis. A prosthesis that is ideal in the first few days may require adjustment over time. This is where regular check-ups come into play.

 

Thanks to periodic check-ups performed by Canerdem specialists:

 

The prosthesis's adaptation to the body is maintained.

 

Skin irritation and wounds are prevented.

 

Postural problems and joint pain are prevented.

 

The lifespan of the prosthesis is extended.

 

Problems That Can Arise From Unadjusted Prostheses

 

Prostheses that are not regularly adjusted can lead to serious problems in the short and long term. These include:

 

Pain and discomfort

 

Redness, wounds, and risk of infection on the skin

 

Unsteady gait and risk of falls

 

Strain on the spine, hip, and knee joints

 

Canerdem minimizes these risks by making personalized adjustments, ensuring that the prosthesis is always used in the most correct way.
