Absence or low individual and public risk
Fitting and adjustment of artificial leg (complete)(partial) - what does this mean
Fitting and adjustment of an artificial leg is a process that involves taking precise measurements of the patient's residual limb and then customizing the prosthetic to fit the individual's body. a complete prosthesis replaces the entire lower limb while a partial prosthesis replaces only a portion of the limb. the fitting and adjustment process may involve making small changes to the prosthesis to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
What happens during the disease - fitting and adjustment of artificial leg (complete)(partial)
The pathogenesis of fitting and adjustment of an artificial leg (complete or partial) is a process that begins with the evaluation of the patient's injury, followed by the selection of the best prosthetic limb to fit the patient's needs. the prosthetic limb is then fitted and adjusted to the patient's body, including the necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit. this may involve the use of various tools and techniques such as grinding, sawing, and sanding. adjustments may also include the use of padding and straps to ensure a secure fit. the final step of the process is to ensure the patient is able to walk and move with the prosthetic limb in a safe and comfortable manner.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination of the affected area
- X-rays to assess bone structure and alignment
- Gait analysis to assess mobility and balance
- Measurement of the residual limb to determine size and shape
- Shape and size of the socket to be fitted
- Assessment of muscle strength
- Assessment of skin condition
- Assessment of range of motion
- Assessment of walking pattern
- Assessment of body weight and balance
- Assessment of posture and body mechanics
- Assessment of joint stability
- Assessment of comfort level with the prosthesis
- Assessment of the patient's lifestyle and activity level
- Adjustment of the prosthesis for optimal fit and function
- Evaluation of the patient's progress with the prosthesis
- Assessment of the patient's expectations and goals
