Every amputation is unique, and so is every recovery journey. While timelines vary, many people spend one to two weeks in the hospital and several months healing and adjusting.

Life will be different — but different doesn't mean less. Your goal is to find a new normal that works for you: a routine that feels manageable, empowering, and uniquely yours.

This adjustment takes time — often several months or more — and that’s okay. Recovery isn't just physical — it's emotional, social, and deeply personal. With the right support, your new normal will come into focus, one step at a time.

Checkins help keep your prosthesis fitting well and functioning its best. It is good practice to re-evaluate your needs every 6 months.
However, you should also book an appointment sooner if:

- You’re feeling pain or discomfort in your residual limb
- You’ve gained or lost even 10 lbs
- Your activity level has changed
- Your liner is showing signs of wear
- There’s visible damage to your prosthesis

Staying ahead of small issues helps prevent bigger problems later.

Need a check-in? We’re here to help.

Your prosthetic liner is more than just padding — it’s the bridge between your limb and your prosthesis. Keeping it clean and wearing it properly helps:

✔️ Protect your skin
✔️ Maintain a good fit
✔️ Prevent irritation or infections
✔️ Improve comfort and mobility
✔️ Extend the life of your liner

A little care each day goes a long way in keeping you comfortable and confident.

Need tips on cleaning or checking your liner? We’re happy to help!

☀ In the heat for a while? Remember to take your prosthesis off a few times throughout the day. Dry off your residual limb with a towel and changing your liner as needed!

Be sure to thoroughly wash and dry your liner so that there is no build up of germs or bacteria.

When you are planning to be out in the warm weather it is important to be prepared. Pack a bag that will have everything you might need. Make sure you have extra ply socks, a towel and an extra liner. Some amputees use an antiperspirant to reduce perspiration. There are some antiperspirants that can be prescribed to help with sweat that causes irritation.

Skin rashes can sometimes develop when wearing a prosthetic liner, but understanding why can help you prevent or manage them. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

❓Why Does this Happen?
A rash may appear near the top of the liner, often due to how the liner is applied. Tip: Always roll on your liner, don’t pull to avoid wrinkles, which can cause friction and irritation.

🔹 Other Possible Causes:
Heat inside the socket can also contribute to skin issues.
Dirty prosthetic socks: If you wear socks inside your socket, be sure to wash them regularly to keep them clean.

If the rash persists or if you're unsure, always reach out to your prosthetist for advice. Your comfort and skin health are our top priority!
