Modular lower leg prosthesis is for prosthetics after below-knee amputation. It consists of a stump socket that carries the module and the foot. Attachment options: supracondylar grip or silicone liner locking device. The need for a silicone liner can only be determined by a prosthetist, as it depends on the complexity of the stump.
The primary lower leg prosthesis (therapeutic and training) is used during the first 6-12 months of wearing the prosthesis, until the stump gets its constant size. Primary prostheses always contain fastening elements that back up the prosthesis when the stump “dries out”, for example, a knee pad or a belt.
In the picture you see a lower leg prosthesis with an American Senator foot (manufactured by Freedom Innovations, USA). In this form, that is, without a cosmetic shell, the patient wears it. Availability of a “foam rubber” shell depends on you.
Components: The most important component in a lower leg prosthesis is the foot. It determines how stable and confident you feel when walking, how you feel the uneven ground you walk on. In general, your entire gait depends on the comfort of the stump and the foot! From foreign feet we offer you.
Foot: Freedom Innovations (USA), Proteor (France), Ottobock (Germany).
Nodes: Nabtesco (Germany), Proteor (France), Ottobock (Germany).
Remember! The better your physical condition at the start of your prosthetic treatment, the more functional the prosthesis will be.
If you receive a tibial prosthesis free of charge, the prosthesis will last for three years. For students and working people – for two years. Prosthesis of the tibia of higher functionality – for 4.5 years (for more details see the CMU Resolution No. 321, item 35).
DON’T FORGET! Water is contraindicated for modular prostheses! Therefore, we are waiting for you to receive a prosthesis of the lower leg for bathing.
After a leg amputation or with a congenital defect, it is difficult to achieve normal life without a high-quality prosthesis. If you lose a leg or other extremity, you can use modern equipment – modular lower leg prostheses. They allow you to fully replace functionality of your leg, perform simple tasks and even go in for sports.
You can buy a lower leg prosthesis at Tellus specialized center. Our company is made up of professionals with more than 20 years of experience in the field of prosthetic and orthopedic care.
Prosthetic technologies are developing very quickly, and today an effective option for combining price and quality is a modular type below-knee prosthesis. It is distinguished by the fact that it consists of assembled parts; in fact, this device resembles a construction set made of functional and adaptive elements.
The device is developed individually to suit the patient’s needs. It fits a person in size, unique parameters, functional features and fit on the stump.
Owing to the original adjustment and connecting mechanism, it is possible to “fit” the lower leg prosthesis to the patient’s characteristics. The height is adjusted with high precision, so you can change the device yourself to adapt it to your gait.
Below-knee prosthetic leg allows you to make the device not only reliable and safe, but also to improve its cosmetic appearance. Thus, the leg will not stand out in appearance, and the surface of the prosthesis imitates human skin.
The design of the prosthesis needs careful adjustment. It consists of several mechanisms – a sleeve that is fixed on the stump with vacuum, an adapter, a knee unit, models of different types and a foot. Typically, the package also includes an outer covering that imitates the natural appearance of the leg.
Advantages of a high-quality modular prosthesis:
In addition, if it breaks, a modular prosthesis is easy to restore – just replace the broken part. This is what makes such mechanisms so popular. It is the world standard for prosthetics, as the components are replaceable and restorable.
The price of a modular lower leg prosthesis is determined individually for the patient. The cost depends on many factors, but the main ones are health status and the chosen installation mechanism.
Before determining the appropriate device for manufacture, the patient is to undergo medical examination. The condition of the stump and muscles of the leg are checked, as well as the degree of atrophy, to find out whether a particular prosthesis is suitable. The amputation is to be of high quality, and the person must be engaged in regular therapy to keep the muscles strong and able to conduct impulses. That makes it easy to perform lower leg prosthetics.
The second factor influencing the price of a lower leg prosthesis is the device itself. The more complex it is and the more functional parts there are, the more expensive it is. But at Tellus in Odesa and other cities of Ukraine you will get an affordable and reasonable price for a lower leg prosthesis.
