This is the fourth episode of our Prosthetic Training video series which covers the spectrum of amputee rehabilitation from immediately post-amputation through running with a prosthesis. They are intended for clinicians and patients and are a great resource for rehabilitation professionals working with lower limb amputees.

David! You are a god sent! Thank you for your full and thorough explanation with real patients and devices!
Please spell God with a capital letter thank you👍👌
I recently had an rbk amputation. I really appreciated this video as it showed me what I could expect when I get a prosthetic.
Thank you so much. During quarantine your courses have provided much needed help. Instead of trying to reach someone which many times takes days to receive a call back, I refer to your videos, which my physical therapist strongly agrees with. Once again. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Sir how to do cycling with the prosthesis legs ?.
I regularly visit nd appreciate your video.
An absolutely excellent video! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MissionGait qq
thank you so much for all these series so far they really helpful as I am going back to trying to walk as I gave up more then 7 yrs ago but with this series I believe I can do it
That's awesome! It is a challenge, so we recommend working with a physical therapist if possible. They can be a great support early on when you need it, and you can share these videos with them! Glad you found our content helpful!
@@MissionGait I really wish I could but the physical therapist has never worked with a amputee as she stated I was her first real patient wish scared the heck out of me and I did not go back
@@mohicannative YOU are in control of your health care and rehabilitation if you are not comfortable with that therapist just tell them that you would like somebody with more experience they will understand. It is your choice to make. I was in wound care for about a year before I had my below the knee amputation and there was a gentleman there at the same time that would only let one certain nurse wrap his wound so it is not that uncommon.
I hope this helps and the best of luck to you.
wonderful ivideo.. below knee here prosthetic just over a year old has needed numerous adjustments I have learned from you what to ask for and why some discomforts happen... TY !
Thank you so much
Thank you very much
Can you make a video of techniques of how amputees can put on the sleeve themselves
I'm about to become a below knee amputee so I appreciate the information
Thank you for instruction video im a new amputee just received my new above protheses or leg call it really help me to visualie how to put on a nd off for struggle with the process wanted know for helps my confidence can do the process the confidence i really needed ty for your instructiomal video
Just been given a spiked BK prosthesis and this was a lot more helpful in explaining how to fit it than my prosthetist was! He said it was OK to get it wet - is that correct?
How would you have them put on a below knee liner if they have one hand?
Good
I had the pun lick before but became a issue I now have suction socket
This is a very nice job Weldon, pls I will like to know the cost of this particular liner that has strap, I am from Nigeria
Good video..is it ok or safe if still got air pissing sound still coming out from the socket valve.
This is what is called "pistoning", where the leg is moving up and down in the socket causing this sound. Usually this is a fit issue that can sometimes be resolved by the use of prosthetic socks or an adjustment to the prosthetic socket. If you are using only a suction fit and the prosthesis is moving a lot, it can be concerning. If you're unsure, check with your prosthetist to be on the safe side.
My friend is suffering by bilateral knee amputation could you advise me where to get both prosthetic legs at good quality in low cost
Very Nice Sir, I am AK amputee I want to change my socket, please can I know which one is latest in Otto Bock, I am from India, Regards
I have an atk on my left side. When i sit down and try to stand back up my prosthesis becomes real loose, is that common?
Yes, it is very common! There are a lot of ways that can happen, so it is best to check with your prosthetist to determine if there is a way to improve your fit and prevent the loosening of the socket.
If the inner diameter of the nylon liner of the fiberglass socket does NOT match the outer diameter of the gasket at the position the "fixed" gasket lands at the socket liner - the gasket will NOT maintain a seal-especially when the amputee sits (drives) and the leg shifts a slight angle, thus the suction breaks. Using a gasket that moves up and down the liner ...the user can adjust the location of the gasket to match the interior circumference of the fiberglass socket. PLUS, since the volume of the limb WILL change - this allows the user to adjust the height of the gasket to match the volume and changes in the limb.
The fixed gasket is a design problem if not a potential for fall and massive annoyance.
We want to see more an more trail
Hi, On 13 Mar, I became bilateral mixed (AK and BK) amputee. I have never seen a video which speaks directly us. If there is… can you provide a link please
Yup, thats mine
Sir I need help please. My mother recently got left knee above knee amputation. But she is unable to balance with the walker.
Semoga sehat selalu.Aammiinn.
i have mid knee amputation this rubber i have is so hard i know to use hand sanitizer bit i cant get it any advice
There are quite a few reasons you may have trouble with this and it is a hard question to answer when not in person. I would recommend you consult your prosthetist to improve your fit.
@@MissionGait thank you
I really need a leg like that one have a leg almost 30 years i think it affecting my hip i am constantly in pain
We would definitely recommend consulting with a prosthetist to see if this could be an option for you.
How can you easily get the lanyard system in perfectly straight if you have a knee that only bends forward?
(Please clarify if this isn't what you are asking.) The lanyard strap does not interact with the knee. Maintaining a good alignment is really down to establishing a good fit within the socket and aligning the knee to face straight ahead while donning the limb. The lanyard simply keeps the prosthesis suspended from the residual limb, contributing little to the actual alignment. A prosthetist can be of significant help in coaching further.
Mission Gait I mean an easy way to get my sleeve on straight, so that when I slip into the socket my foot will face perfectly straight forward. Takes me about 6-8 try’s with each leg.
@@mariannethompson6955 You can try marking the top of the liner at the middle of the front-facing side using a permanent marker. Just a small vertical line. This way you have a mark to follow so you know how it should be properly aligned.
Amount Rs.?
Sir with artificial leg i can't walk well what reason
There are many reasons that people have difficulty with a prosthetic limb. Most notably, prosthetic limbs are difficult to walk with as they are different from an original limb. You can certainly use our videos as a resource, but we would strongly recommend working with a physiotherapist and prosthetist to ensure you are walking at your highest potential.
How do I get a liner
Hey there. We do not provide prosthetic limbs or components. We recommend following up with your prosthetist to get the proper liner for your limb.
Below knee prosthesis suspension with straps
Thank you for the comment. We didn't include straps in this video as they are becoming a less common approach to prosthetic suspension. We do see them with transfemoral and hip disarticulation amputees, but generally as an additional stabilization for increased activity. I unfortunately couldn't find a great resource for instruction on donning this style of device, so a prosthetist would be your best resource.
I lost my right fingers in a car accident. I was hoping that I could recover it with an artificial limb, as I see it on UA-cam videos, but I do not have the money to pay for it and my paper. Can you please help me, I am working on collecting some cash to cover my travel and the price of the prosthesis
Need to see how u do it. The text
Is block
Ies
How much sir
We are focused upon the education and training. We do not provide prosthetic limbs so we cannot provide information on the cost.
I'm lost
It is a lot of information. If this is an information overload, reach out to a local prosthetist that can be of help.
Dear sir i lost my right leg i need artificial leg can you please send me your email i want to share my Doc
Unfortunately we do not provide artificial limbs. We are solely focused on education in walking rehabilitation.
