Question Posted Tuesday August 7 2007, 4:06 am

Hi guys

Uhmm i have this assignment at skool about prostheses and i cant find some information! If you guys can (hoping that you will), please help me out!!

I need to find some websites that answer these questions:
"Why it is needed to be fitted into/onto the body.
What is the prosthesis made from?
HOw long does it last before the need of a replacement?
How is the prosthesis fixed into/unto the body?"
about three prostheses for an assignment.

THREE, preferebly one should be "artificial limbs"

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!

I have a prosthetic leg and it is held on with a knee strap - like a tight stocking. I also have a leg that is held on with a rachet attachment. It is like a screw that is pushed into the false leg and has a quick-release button. I don't mind using either system and I don't have any problems walking on the leg apart from 'phantom limb pain' (which isn't phantom at all). A prosthesis is usually made from a silicon compound with a metal rod through the middle like an artificial bone to make it stronger. The obvious reason as to why a prosthesis is used in my case is because I need it to walk. That is a quick summary from a personal point of view and if you have any more questions that I can answer please feel free to contact me. Good luck with the assignment.
