![]() Assembly process of hip disarticulation prosthesis is more complex than common hip prosthesis.Currently with the performance improvement of component hip and knee joint as well as assembly technique improvement, amputees even with semi-pelvic prosthesis can achieve walking with bare hands after the appropriate training. At present, the Medi-Rehatek skeletal hip disarticulation prosthesis is the most widely used among hip prosthesis system, its features are as below: ![]() First, as the use of internal skeletal structure, the external prosthesis is covered with soft decorative cover,it has beautiful appearance; Second, the hip joint is fixed in the front of the prosthetic socket, that can be up to the maximum state of flexion when the patient sits and it can avoid the tilt of the pelvis; hip with extension of the auxiliary device can limit the range of motion of the hip joint; ![]() Third, the hip and knee joint using standard modular structure, are easy to adjust the alignment with good stability; Fourth, the type of prosthetic socket is still used in the main features of Canadian hip disarticulation prosthesis. But the production process of prosthetic socket has been greatly changed.The prosthetic socket is usually made from two hard and soft resin composite material. The load-bearing part of some socket is made from hard resin, waist belts and other wraps, suspension part are made from the soft resin, which achieve good load-bearing effect, but are also easy to wear off and on. Rehabilitation trainers guard patients with hip disarticulation prosthesis to have gait training.
