Prosthetics Training Program

The training program is closely related to the rehabilitation program, as the more a person is committed to the rehabilitation program, the faster the training takes. Where the training program begins with the beginning of the prosthesis installation.

The goal of the training program

It is the individual's ability to deal with the prosthetic limb and use it correctly, easily, and independently (ie, not having to help others).

In the beginning, the specialist is with the patient step by step, then the patient's family has a role in helping until the patient reaches independence and does not need the help of others.

It should be noted that the training time varies from one user to another, as several factors are involved in determining the time, such as the user's commitment to the rehabilitation program and his psychological and physical readiness, as well as age, weight and the nature of the injury.....

It should also be noted that the described training program can be changed or modified to suit the patient's preparedness and the type and severity of the injury.

Training program steps

- In the beginning, make sure that the prosthesis is suitable in terms of size and length before starting training.
