More prosthetic myths are getting BUSTED with Boyes Turner Legal Services 👊🏼🦾

MYTH: Amputees only need one limb for everything

BUSTED: Despite advancing technology, it is rare that one prosthesis can meet the ever-changing needs of most amputees on a day-to-day basis. The components of an everyday prosthesis are unlikely to support the amputee optimally during high impact activities, such as weightlifting, swimming or running. For a higher activity function, a specific component may be required to enhance the patient’s ability to participate or compete in a sport or activity.

A detailed assessment and an understanding of the patient’s capabilities and lifestyle will enable the prosthetist to determine which prosthetic components are most suited to the activities that the patient would like to participate in.

💥 We're busting some prosthetic myths with Boyes Turner Legal Services!

MYTH 1: Relying solely on prosthetic technology guarantees successful clinical outcomes 🤨

BUSTED: Prosthetic technology has evolved rapidly over the last decade. Microprocessor knees, ankles and multi-articulating hands have improved dramatically in the pursuit of restoring lost function as a result of life-changing amputations. In addition, socket technologies to optimise stability, suspension and comfort now provide multiple options for prosthetists when designing and fabricating prostheses. Careful consideration of these advanced prosthetic technologies is critical in helping patients achieve their goals.

However, Prosthetic technology cannot enhance mobility and functional outcomes alone. Restoring high-level mobility and upper limb function requires significant input from multiple rehabilitative therapies. Intensive physical therapy aimed at strengthening, conditioning and gait re-education is essential to enhance mobility with a prosthesis. In the case of upper limb prescription, user training in real-life situations aids independence and the ability to carry out activities of daily living.

Achieving successful clinical outcomes for patients after limb loss requires a holistic approach with close collaboration between the patient, prosthetist and rehabilitation therapist.
