About Through Knee Prosthesis
Through knee prosthetics, also known as knee disarticulation prosthetics, are designed for people who have suffered an amputation at the knee joint. This type of prosthesis purpose to restore both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the limb, providing improved mobility and quality of life.
Types of Through Knee Prosthetics
- Basic Through Knee Prosthesis
- Designed for stability and ease of use.
- Ideal for patients with low activity levels.
- Simple construction with fewer components.
- Advanced Through Knee Prosthesis
- Features more complex components for enhanced mobility.
- Suitable for active individuals.
- May include hydraulic or pneumatic knee joints for smoother motion.
- Microprocessor-Controlled Knees
- Utilizes advanced technology for real-time adjustments.
- Provides a more natural gait pattern.
- Ideal for highly active users and those requiring precise control.
Process of Fitting a Through Knee Prosthesis
- Initial Assessment
- Evaluation of the residual limb’s condition.
- Determination of the patient’s activity level and specific needs.
- Casting and Measurement
- Accurate measurements of the residual limb are taken.
- A cast or digital scan is made for creating a custom socket.
- Prosthetic Fabrication
- Custom socket is crafted based on the cast or scan.
- Selection of appropriate knee joint and foot components.
- Initial Fitting
- Prosthesis is fitted to the patient for the first time.
- Adjustments are made to ensure comfort and proper alignment.
- Gait Training
- Physical therapy sessions to help the patient adapt to the new prosthesis.
- Training on how to walk, stand, and move with the prosthetic limb.
- Follow-Up and Adjustments
- Regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
- Additional adjustments are made as needed for optimal performance.
Benefits of Through Knee Prosthetics
- Enhanced Mobility
- Provides better balance and stability compared to above-knee prosthetics.
- Allows for a more natural gait pattern.
- Improved Comfort
- Custom-fit sockets ensure comfort and reduce skin irritation.
- Advanced suspension systems enhance overall fit.
- Increased Activity Levels
- Suitable for a wide range of activity levels, from basic daily activities to high-performance sports.
- Microprocessor-controlled knees offer precise adjustments for various activities.
- Aesthetic Appeal
- Prosthetics can be designed to closely match the appearance of the natural limb.
- Options for cosmetic covers to enhance the look of the prosthesis.
