In the process of use prostheses, a good prosthesis can be used as a instead organ of the human body, becoming a part of the whole. If the assembly and use of prostheses are not suitable, it will not only lead to pain and secondary injury of the stump when wearing, but also may cause problems in some other parts of the body. Long-term wear and use of inappropriate prostheses may cause the following diseases: The skin friction injury of the bearing part of the residual limb: the bone protrusion part of the residual limb is more common. This kind of problem should be mainly prevented, pay attention to the residual limb skin damage at any time, take timely detection and timely solution. The skin disease of stump limb. The clean sanitation of stump and prosthetic socket is undone. Which makes the skin of stump affected by bacterial. If this kind of skin disease is found, the prosthesis should be stopped, get timely treatment.
Muscle atrophy and blood supply disorders: After some muscles of the stump are cut off, they no longer exercise, and the use of prosthetic limbs is often compressed, so the muscle of the stump will become more and more atrophic, and cause the blood circulation of the stump to become poor. To prevent muscle atrophy, amputees should always pay attention to phantom limb exercises. In addition, BK amputees should take care to adjust the prosthetic socket of the stump to full weight bearing or full contact. Lymphatic stasis inflammation of the soft tissue at the end of the stump. The main requirement to prevent this kind of problem is that all AK, BK prosthesis closed prosthetic socket must achieve full contact with the stump. For patients with stagnant inflammation, it is recommended to stop the prosthesis in time and wrap it with elastic bandages, which can be combined with hot compress or some physical therapy when necessary.
Scoliosis and low back pain: The length of the lower limb prosthesis assembly is not suitable.
The length of prostheses should be same to healthy limb. AK prostheses can be shorter, which should not exceed than 1cm.  So, when you find that there is a long-term discomfort with the prosthesis. Please do not always try to adapt to it, but should contact the prosthesis company in time to find out the cause of the problem and solve it as soon as possible to avoid causing the problem to worsen.
