By Alex D White


Mobility is one of the biggest challenges faced by several individuals that are found to be an amputee or maimed people. There can be several reasons behind a person losing a limb or two; it may be either to save its life or in order to lead a normal life by staying healthy.

However eve after making the sacrifices, the growth and development of the medical technology has led to the use of prosthetics, which can help an individual to get back their lost limb and also do the work normally that they could do before being an amputee.

Currently it is found that most of the individuals are using the C-Leg prosthesis nowadays. Otto Bock is the company that is found to manufacture it and it comes in a very unique design. The C-leg comes with a inbuilt microprocessor at the knee joint which monitors the knee movement 50 times per second, this is what makes it different from other prosthetic legs.

People that look at the person that has a prosthetic limb consider that there is not much effort done in order to control it, however for your information lots of control and skills are needed to make use of the artificial limbs properly. It is often found that the user of a prosthetic limb is found to go to rehabilitation centres in order to grab hold and retrain their affected limb.

The C-Leg prosthesis application is often covered under the insurance coverage of several individuals. The cost of the C-leg prosthesis varies from insurance to insurance, depending on the kind of insurance policy you have, the cost of the prosthetic can be covered. The cost of the leg prior to the operation is not included in the insurance cover.

The system entails the operation of the damage part, then the rehabilitation system and finally presenting you with the right and becoming prosthetic limb after the procedure is completed. However the rehabilitation system is the maximum time taking procedure, which is stricken by several motives which includes lack of motivation, incapability of the user to make use of the designed prosthesis.

Taking a friend or a family member along with you when you go out for shopping for your artificial limb can always be useful. What you need to remember is that there are artificial replacement body parts for almost everything that you can know of. For example women can have breast reconstruction surgery, which have had a mastectomy and need to find something that provides her some form of peace after her condition. Special kind of prosthetic devices are constructed for these purposes itself and if a woman wants she can get back her original form using these devices, just as she had it before her illness.

With the use of the prosthetics some users are found to return to full functioning just as before some do not. Artificial legs can give the patient the ability to walk; there are artificial hands that only help the wearer to do limited actions. Moreover the technology is still getting updated and new methods and prototypes of limbs are being discovered that could change the future of prosthetics.
