Learn All There's to Know About Prosthetics

A great number of advances have been made in the field of prosthetics. Today, prosthetic limbs are customized to suit an individual's personal needs, taking into account their body proportions as well as their age and the demands of their lifestyle.

The new amputee gets a temporary or training prosthesis and after stabilizing his / her situation, generally 4-6 months later, that person is fit for a definitive prosthesis, which should last 2-5 years or more.

A period of adjustment to the use of prosthesis can often be accompanied by emotions of resentment or sadness. These feelings should not be discouraging as they are a standard component of the healing process.
