How do you make sure the stump is in good condition?
As we all know, if amputees’ situation is more serious, at later time is more difficult to install prosthetics, it is difficult to restore the ability to take care of themselves, how to determine whether it is good?
First of all, the skin and tissue tolerance of the stump to the receptive cavity will be the fundamental basis for the walking function of the amputee. Amputees need to consult professional advice to understand the characteristics of a good stump.
First, the shape of the stump is suitable for good skin condition of the stump, such as no ulcer, large area of skin grafting, etc.
Second, the shape of the knee or knee stump is inverted cone, and the skeleton is better and do not have any bending deformation.
Third, the end of the stump shall be padded with sufficient soft tissue to ensure an effective length for the prosthesis to be fitted.
In short, amputees should install prosthesis in time to determine their own situation if it is good, and follow the advice of professionals, do a good job of gradual and reasonable rehabilitation training, and pay attention to sanitation, so as to facilitate their early recovery of self-care ability.
