![]() When a thigh amputee uses a Medi-Rehatek leg prosthesis, if the thigh prosthesis presents with the unequal stride to healthy limb, then we need to note the patient. There are two main reasons for this: One reason is as below: The patient's own hip has strong flexion, patients feel pain and anxietyabout the fall, prosthetic side can not bear load. The stride of healthy limb is too small and fast, that will lead to uneven pace. ![]() On the other reason is of prosthesis as below: If the prosthetic knee friction is too heavy, the stump sways to the front with great force in the sway phase, the stump suddenly sways to the back in the latter sway phase. At the time, the knee stretch will result inlarge stride. On the contrary, knee joint friction is too small and out of control in the swing phase,the stride of prosthetic side is too large. Knee hyper-extension and the initial small degree of knee flexion will lead to uneven stride. ![]() The solution to this situation requires special training programs: 1, Prosthetic side stands up 2, The use of metronome measures time 3, Do walking training under the marker line Relative blog: Meet the final fantasy of each thigh amputee
