Prosthetic limbs is a good news for those friends of amputees, some prosthetic company will not promote the stump shape of the treatment in the installation of patients, directly install the formal prosthetic, this is not right, this will let the patient friends put on the prosthetic soon atrophy, and will be more and more serious!

Regarding upper limb prosthesis or the rubber hand should also wear sectional exercises at first, when practice the upper arm amputees speak elbow flexion, open hand and open practice of elbow lock, practice of forearm amputees should carry on the control of the manipulator, practice is far better than the lower limb prosthesis clutter more difficult, myoelectricity manipulation of the prosthetic hand is a residual limb muscle shortening the electromyographic signal to control the rubber grip.

In order to make the artificial hand play a role in patients' daily life, it is very necessary to coach the practice correctly.

In order to practice the operation of the prosthetic hand, the patient should first understand the principle of the control side system of the prosthetic hand.

After that, we practiced the rough grip and relaxation. Sponge blocks and paper cups were often used as the initial training objectives.

Later changed to like leather block, wood block, and then changed to round block shape.

After mastering grip and relaxation, you can practice putting on and taking off clothes, grooming and daily living activities.
