Prosthetic foot for prosthetics after amputation at the level of the ankle joint. There are two types of prosthetic feet, and the choice depends on the level of amputation and the patient’s activity level.
It consists of a prosthetic socket, a supporting module, and a foot. Attachment options: supracondylar gripper or silicone liner locking device. The need for a silicone liner can only be determined by a prosthetist, as it depends on the condition 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 come with fastening elements that back up the prosthesis when the stump “dries out”, for example, a knee pad or a belt.
The loss of a limb, regardless of the cause, is a difficult period in a person’s life. It is necessary to adapt both physically and psychologically, learning to live differently. But medicine makes it possible to recreate effectiveness and functionality of a leg or arm by repeating the movements.
A foot prosthesis is designed to restore limb function after amputation or congenital defects. You can order an original device at an affordable price at Tellus specialized center.
Unlike the consequences of hip or arm amputation, the loss of a foot does not have such a significant impact on a person’s daily life. Without a foot, you can walk and perform basic movements, but for full-time work, long walks, or sports, you need to buy a prosthetic foot.
If you have the device, you can walk without the help of other devices, take a shower, or do other work. Stabilization and a sense of support allows you to feel more confident and have full-quality lifestyle.
The advantages of a prosthetic foot are:
The device serves a primarily cosmetic purpose. The outside of the prosthetic foot is covered with silicone, which looks like real skin. When ordering individually, professionals imitate all the features of the patient’s natural foot, making the silicone prosthetic foot indistinguishable from the skin.
Another advantage is the possibility of repairing breakdowns. If a part of the device wears out or breaks, then there is no need to replace the device, but just replace the particular part.
Depending on the height of amputation, a specific type of foot prosthesis is selected. These are devices both for restoring part of the foot, and for the cases when a limb part up to the knee is absent. In the first option, the solution would be to buy a prosthetic foot without a screw, and for the second type, a full-fledged device with unique technologies.
The main types of prostheses are divided into three categories:
There are also prosthetic feet for athletes. They are distinguished by having increased shock absorption of parts, accumulating energy during physical activity. They are specially designed for active lifestyle.
