Prosthetic limb care and maintenance
(2） Maintenance of structural parts
(1) If the joint and joint part of the prosthesis are loose, it will affect the use performance and make noise, so it should be checked frequently
Knee and ankle shaft screws and belt fixing screws and rivets shall be fastened in time. When the metal shaft is inflexible or makes noise, it shall be timely
Add lubricating oil. After being damped, it should be dried in time and filled with oil to prevent rust. (2) The electrical system of the power supply of the EMG prosthetic limb shall be protected from
Damp, impact and sticky dirt. For complex and precise electric prosthetic hand, professional maintenance personnel should be found. (3) When out
Now the sound is abnormal, indicating that the prosthetic limb parts are damaged. The reason should be found out in time, and the prosthetic limb should be repaired properly, if necessary
Restore the center for repair. Especially when using skeletal lower limb prosthesis, the joints and connectors should be repaired in time.
It is better to go to the prosthetic rehabilitation center for maintenance regularly (such as once every 3 months).
（3） Maintenance of decorative coat
The front part of the knee joint of the foam decorative jacket of the skeletal thigh prosthesis is most likely to break, and users should pay attention to small breaks
In case of crack, repair and repair it in time. It can be strengthened by pasting cloth strips on the inside to maximize its service life
Life. In addition, if you wear socks with short waist, the sock mouth of the lower leg is easy to be cracked by the rubber band. Therefore, even if you wear small
For leg prosthesis, it is better to wear socks longer than the knee.
Taking the maintenance and repair of electric prostheses as an example, the requirements are as follows:
① The artificial limb shall not be overloaded during use to prevent damage to components;
② Do not move without understanding;
③ Do not disassemble the parts randomly;
4. If there is noise or abnormal noise in the mechanical part, check, repair and replace the parts in detail:
5 After one year of use, add lubricating oil to the transmission part and rotating shaft:
6. The battery voltage shall not be lower than 10V. If the artificial limb moves slowly or cannot be started, it shall be charged in time:
⑦ Prevent the connecting wires of electrical components from crossing and twisting, and avoid insulation damage, leakage or short circuit
