Artificial Limb Prosthesis

We know how hard it can be to go through the process of finding and adjusting to a prosthetic. At Human Technology Prosthetics & Orthotics, we want to make sure you get the right prosthetics in Memphis, TN. Part of this process is staying informed, beginning with an understanding of the reasons you should consider getting a prosthetic in the first place. Here are 4 ways in which a quality prosthetic with a good fit can make a difference in your life.

Mobility

Perhaps the most obvious benefit of a prosthetic, whether for your upper or lower body, is mobility. The technology behind prosthetics is so advanced that you can engage in a wide variety of physical activities with ease. This includes walking, climbing stairs, and swimming. In many instances, there is virtually no functional difference between prosthetic and natural limbs.

Energy Conservation

A prosthetic that works like a natural limb can save a lot of energy, making you better able to maintain your hobbies and activities without totally wearing yourself out early on in the day. This is especially notable when compared to crutches which, while certainly helping you get around, can be draining.

Comfort

Crutches or an ill-fitting prosthetic can become very uncomfortable over time. If you are walking on a prosthetic that throws off your balance or holds your body in an unnatural position, you may even develop pain and problems with your joints. It’s best to have your prosthetic carefully sized and adjusted by a professional to maintain your comfort and quality of life.

Confidence and a Positive Outlook

When you are mobile, energetic, and comfortable, you are better equipped to work on your emotional well-being. Prosthetics allow you to more easily take care of yourself and keep up with your friends and family, helping you to be more confident as you go about your daily routine.

An accident or illness that results in an amputation can be extremely emotionally taxing. As you make adjustments, your prosthetic will allow you to recover more quickly and maintain a positive outlook on the situation.

We are here to help you with quality custom-fitted prosthetics to make your life easier in these areas and more. Contact us today to see how we can help you!
