Peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) is known to relieve chronic pain by sending electrical impulses to the affected nerves. While the technology is not touted as a treatment for phantom limb pain, the connection is evident. https://t.co/TAEpGSC6yg #amputee #amputeetips
Among the reasons for high prosthetic rejection rates is that some products seem to be designed to impress engineers rather than meet the needs of actual users. This leads to a disconnect in usability and design. https://t.co/ffAwTPnwXt #amputee #amputeetips #prostheticlimb
The best prosthetic suspension system must accommodate size fluctuations, so consider the highly adjustable ones. It must also be durable and comfortable and not inhibit your knee's range of motion. https://t.co/RBzf7JrOz4 #amputee #amputeetips #amputeestore
During a run, it's important to completely focus on your performance and not let anything get in the way. So, it's crucial to select a secure suspension system that fits you well. https://t.co/ljVUh4XoSY #amputee #amputeerunning #amputeetips
As an amputee, it's crucial to stay active to maintain the strength of key muscles. While it's essential to exercise the chest, arms, and abs, it's important to focus on a set of muscles responsible for stable movement—the posterior chain. https://t.co/bPLoa9dOcO #amputeetips
Being around people in the same situation is vital. This is because it’s easy to feel alone and misunderstood. And when one feels down for too long, it can quickly spiral into depression, which would be difficult to get out of. https://t.co/PP0RkjydCu #amputee #amputeetips
A neuroma usually presents as a growth that can be tender to the touch and found under the skin of your residual limb. The pain commonly presents as a shooting sensation whenever the residual limb presses against the prosthesis while walking. https://t.co/52U3B1fLnP #amputeetips
Choosing a prosthetist is an important decision. It requires patience, research, and making sure all your questions are answered. Here's what you should know before choosing one. https://t.co/xvGN8vpyQW #amputee #amputeetips #amputeehealth
Working out with a prosthetic limb causes friction between the prosthesis and the residual limb, leading to blisters. So always keep a pack of blister pads, like the Spenco 2nd Skin Blister Pads, in your gym bag. https://t.co/SMyDQRIFpQ #amputee #amputeetips #amputeefitness
One way to prolong the life of your suspension sleeves is to use a cosmetic cover. Typically made of spandex, lycra, & nylon, a cosmetic cover over a suspension sleeve will protect it from outside elements that can cause rips and snags. https://t.co/SJD1GgWkAS #amputeetips
For a day at the pool, below-knee prosthesis users can use waterproof prosthetic covers. It's a practical alternative that won't require using a separate prosthesis. The downside is that this option is not available for above-knee prosthetics. https://t.co/laAVLvOot7 #amputeetips
When anxiety shows up, the typical response is to try hard to relax. But the more you fight anxiety, the worse it gets. It’s best to ride it out. Treating anxiety as a threat can release more stress hormones. https://t.co/Ggit0Fjhf4 #amputee #amputeetips #healthtips
Chronic phantom limb pain often doesn't respond to medications and dramatically reduces quality of life. But researchers have found an accessible way to at least ease the pain—through spinal cord stimulation. https://t.co/uiHRbMbMrT #amputee #amputeetips #amputeestore
Patients and their healthcare providers don't always have access to most high-tech, life-changing prosthetic technology. Prosthetic users have to qualify for these kinds of prosthetic devices. https://t.co/aiz9tbBWWs #amputeetips #prostheticlimb #amputeestore
Hard prosthetic sockets present not only convenience issues but also comfort problems. According to a VA survey, 45% of individuals with above-knee limb loss expressed interest in switching to a different socket type. https://t.co/rgo2ITbyY4 #amputee #amputeetips #prostheticlimb
One of the best ways to improve your everyday life as a person living with limb loss is to do gait training exercises. These improve mobility and balance, two qualities that reduce the risk of falls. https://t.co/0NuVcyqETr #amputee #amputeetips #amputeestore
Regular exercise can greatly benefit lower-limb prosthesis users, as it helps them become more mobile, steady, and strong. These qualities also help boost one's confidence and well-being. https://t.co/FTAh8qQtNX #amputee #amputeetips #amputeestore
It's not just in your head. Studies show that your psychological health affects the body and the heart. This is called the "mind-heart-body connection." https://t.co/MLvmv3QWNy #amputee #amputeetips #amputeestore
The best way to let your healthcare team determine a pain management plan for you is to understand and describe what you feel. Only you can also communicate whether the pain management plan is working. https://t.co/v729ILOOVT #amputee #amputeetips #amputeestore
Phantom limb pain is one of the most common experiences among people who experience limb loss. But half of those who report phantom pain do not receive treatment or find relief from the pain and discomfort. https://t.co/IXYMhe00YV #amputee #amputeetips #amputeestore
