Every device needs maintenance and a regular check. Similarly, your Artificial leg is a mechanical device in its core, and to ensure proper functioning a routine care is essential. Today, we’ll be sharing a few tips with you that will help you to elongate your prosthetic’s life. 

Mentioned below are the tips to help you achieve that : 

1. Do not attempt adjusting your prosthetic by yourself – Ask for support as self adjustment might lead to worsening in the alignment and comfort.

2. Add a reminder for daily cleaning – The parts of your liner that come in contact with your skin can be wiped with normal soap/water to ensure cleanliness and prevent bacteria from proliferating.

3. Don’t submerge your Artificial leg under water unless advised i.e don’t swim without consulting your Prosthetist.

4. Don’t lift anything beyond the weight limit given by your Prosthetist.

5. Examine the parts daily to ensure proper functioning of your device.

6. Contact your Prosthetist (PO) – if you face any difficulty either mild or major.
