How to stand and walk normally with wearing a BK prosthesis
Stand-up balance training
At the beginning of training, you can use handrails and crutches to practice standing, the body stands as straight as possible so that the prosthesis and healthy limbs are evenly stressed, and gradually practice standing without supporting any object with both hands, and then let the amputee practice the body leaning forward, backwards, sideways flexion, rotational movements till one can still stand steady, will not fall.
Body center of gravity transfer training
The position of the feet remains the same, and the amputee repeatedly moves most of the weight of the whole body to the prosthesis (try to make the prosthesis bear more weight, pay attention to not tilting the upper body to the side of the prosthesis), and need to maintain the balance of the body.
Unilateral limb standing, weight-bearing training
Prosthetic and healthy limbs alternately exercise standing on one limb and maintaining balance. Standing independently with a prosthesis requires 3 to 5 seconds. When you start training, you can use parallel bars or crutches to gradually start standing without assistive tools.
Training walking within parallel bars or with double crutches
At the beginning, you need to pay attention to keeping the length of each step as much as possible when walking, and the width is as small as possible, and gradually adapt to the feeling when walking.
Out parallel bars, indoor walking training without support
If you can walk smoothly with parallel bars or crutches without two-handed escalators, you can train outside the bar. Walking training with both eyes leveling in a straight line. When training, it should be noted that the upper body does not swing or tilt to the side of the prosthesis, the step length of the two lower limbs should be as similar as possible, the step width should be as small as possible, the support time of the two lower limbs should be similar, and the opening and closing angles of the feet should be similar (if there is no disapprosity or discomfort, the technician should inform the prosthetic technician to adjust).
Training on up and down stairs and outdoor slopes, uneven surfaces
In order for amputees to adapt to the complex walking environment, most BK amputees can adapt to many environments that do not. Some patients wear BK prosthetics to do running, long jump, high jump difficult sports. (Please do not easily try it yourself, if you want to test, it is best to do it under the guidance of a professional)
