Walking skills of thigh prosthesis
Maintain correct and effective gait training.

1, pelvis moves left and right, feet are separated by about 10 cm, and slowly move from left to right and then back to pelvis. You will feel that your weight can be transferred from one foot to the other.

2. Take a step forward and practice. Take a step forward with your healthy foot and put your weight on one side of the prosthesis. Pay attention to balance when walking back and forth.

3. Practice on the steps, with both feet on the ground, slowly shift the center of gravity to the prosthesis, push the residual limb into the prosthetic socket, and lift the healthy foot. Put your weight on your knees. Try to use the muscles around the hip to control the balance of one side of the prosthesis.

4. Walking practice, while practicing walking, let your prosthesis or physical therapist gently stop the prosthesis on the side of your pelvis. The increase in resistance will give you more motivation to move forward. When walking, the steps will be longer and more natural.
