Double Tube Adapter with Pyramid /Prosthetic Socket  Adapter

The first is to train amputees to become familiar with artificial hand and prosthetic control systems.

Then, the opening / closing motion of the hand portion is initially trained. First on the bench patients do a simply open and close action for daily life training, and then increase the level of training and change the action until the patients master them.

Opening and closing action training should go from the most simple action like pick up the object slowly until patient is skilled.

When patients are familiar with these two important basic training process,we can teach patients how to make their residual limb co-operate with the prosthesis to have practical training in order to achieve the most basic needs of life such as take on and off clothing, personal hygiene (wash, go to bathroom, take a bath), open and close door,switch on and off the appliance,cook,write with pen,call, etc., and then transition to the study, work training.

Upper limb prosthesis training for amputees with unilateral arm amputation is not too difficult, but it is too difficult for amputees with double arms amputation. As the function of current upper limb prosthetic is still relatively simple.Amputees need hard training in order to adapt to the needs.

Patients with double hands amputation needs artificial hands at the same time who need to choose the appropriate self-help equipment: such as the life sleeve commonly used by double upper limb amputees, that can be covered on the stump, and then insert spoon or pen, amputee can eat or write;

Patients can not use chopsticks by artificial hands, who can only use spoon or fork that is bent into the appropriate angle;

Patients should co-operate with both hands to comb hair with thick hand grip;

 

When taking things out from clothing pocket by artificial hand,amputees pull the bottom from pocket with one hand, use the other hand to fetch. It is best to use the left hand to take things out from pocket of the right side, with the right hand to take things out from the pocket of left side;

Appropriate to change the used items: add a large pull ring on the zipper,the prosthetic hand can open;

Velcro buckles are sewn on the clothes to avoid the trouble; elastic shoes don’t need the shoes lace and so on.
