For patient with high site amputation such as hip disarticulation, MEDI-REHATEK has learned that there is no problem of prosthetic assembly technology from the currentpoint, but before the prosthesis assembly, patient must pay attention to the following aspects: 1,Amputees should maintain the muscle strength and normal joint of healthyleg. Many patients with high amputation due to lack of exercise, are easy to form the decreased muscle strength of healthy limb and some will appear with joint deformation, etc., these are not conducive to prosthetic assembly; 2,Amputees should practice muscle strength of waist and abdomen. The suspension and control forces on hip disarticulation prosthesis originates from this region.Enhancing waist and abdomen strength and dexterity have a great help for the prosthetic users; 3, Amputees should control weight development, do not have sudden increasing and decreasing weight in the situation. Prosthetic socket has a fixed volume, rapid changes in body weight will cause the unfit acceptance of the prosthetic socket.It will affect the normal use of artificial limbs, increase the use cost; 4, Amputees practice more to stand on one leg, enhance the sense of balance. A strengthened sense of balance is key to future adaptation. It is desirable that each patient with a hip disarticulation is trained with the above procedure before assembling the prosthesis, creating the desired physical condition for achieving better results and assembling prosthesis.
