Lower limb prostheses – what types are there and how they work
Before choosing a prosthesis for the leg, the patient undergoes several stages of consultation and medical examination, which helps to assess the condition and quality of the amputation. Based on this, an individual device is selected.
There are several types of lower limb prostheses:
- Ankle and foot. The system includes hydraulics that absorb shocks and the process of walking and a full adjustment of the speed of movement. The device detects micro-compressions of the ankle muscles or even changes in external conditions thanks to the processor. It can be either passive or active, depending on the system. There is also functionality that simulates twisting of the foot, for example, when playing golf.
- Knee joint. The design is controlled by body strength and muscle movements. You can adjust the effort when walking to reduce strain, increase safety, and prevent the risk of falling.
For certain sports. Special prostheses are suitable for athletes who lead an active lifestyle or perform labor activities. They are equipped with reliable receiving sleeves and suspensions, rotation and twisting systems. - The price of a lower limb prosthesis – what does it depend on
It is difficult to say in advance what the cost of lower limb prostheses will be. Everything is determined individually and depends on a number of factors, primarily the patient’s condition. The method of amputation and the professionalism of the medical procedure also have an impact.
The lowest price of a lower limb prosthesis is for fixed devices
In fact, they only imitate the appearance of the leg, but do not have movable elements. In addition, such products are temporary and need to be changed periodically. Most often, a simulating immovable prosthesis is used to help a person get used to a new condition, deal with the psychological aspects of amputation, or wait for the manufacture of modern equipment.
There are also passive devices that help people walk or do simple work. They work more like a support, there is no decorative coating.
Active lower limb prostheses, which are more expensive, are made of reliable materials and have motion control systems. The high-tech device not only performs a range of tasks but also replaces the functionality of the leg. Movement, bending, and other processes are carried out with the help of a special electric motor, which receives signals from healthy muscles and stumps.
