Prosthetic Care After Above-Knee Amputation
-
Prosthetic care plays an important role in supporting mobility, balance, and independence after limb loss. For individuals with an above knee amputation, selecting and fitting the right prosthetic components requires careful assessment of residual limb condition, activity level, comfort, and lifestyle goals. Rehabilitation may include gait training, strengthening, balance exercises, and prosthetic-use education. Regular follow-ups with a qualified prosthetist can help improve socket fit, alignment, and overall comfort. Personalized care and ongoing adjustments can support safer movement and everyday functional activities.
