When an arm or other extremity is amputated or lost, a prosthetic device, or prosthesis, can play an important role in rehabilitation. For many people, an artificial limb can improve mobility and the ability to manage daily activities, as well as provide the means to stay independent.

These are some of the Amputees who happily got their limps at our medical facility.

Prosthetic limbs are incredibly valuable to amputees because a prosthesis can help restore some of the capabilities lost with the amputated limb. Although prosthetic limbs have still not advanced to the point where they can rival the functionality provided by biological limbs, the capabilities they do provide can be significant. Great strides are being made each day in the field of prosthetics, and while great technological challenges remain, artificial limbs are becoming increasingly similar to real limbs.

.A cervical collar , also known as a neck brace , is a medical device used to support a person's neck. It is also used by emergency personnel for those who have had traumatic head or neck injuries, and can be used to treat chronic medical conditions.
Whenever people have a traumatic head or neck injury, they may have a cervical fracture. This makes them at high risk for spinal cord injury , which could be exacerbated by movement of the person and could lead to paralysis or death. A common scenario for this injury would be a person suspected of having whiplash because of a car accident .In order to prevent further injury, such people may have a collar placed by medical professionals until X-rays can be taken to determine if a cervical spine fracture exists

5. Practice Precaution
Taking precautionary measures is essential when it comes to your bone and joint health. If you notice any changes in your orthopedic health, make sure you take action before it is too late.
Ice the area to reduce swelling
Wrap the area to compress and keep in place
Elevate the area to encourage blood flow
If the bone or joint continues to weaken or the pain continues to worsen, it is important to seek medical attention right away.

4. Develop Healthy Habits
Developing healthy habits is essential for long-term orthopedic health. Practice good posture by always keeping both feet on the ground to distribute weight evenly as well as pulling your shoulders back to straighten out your spine. Avoid putting stress on your back and shoulders by carrying lighter loads, evening out your backpack straps or using a suitcase with wheels. When sleeping, use supportive pillows and choose a position that complements the natural curvature of the spine.

3. Gear Up
Don’t let fashion get in the way of your orthopedic health. The clothing we wear can make or break our bone and joint health, so adorning the proper gear can be an easy way to work towards a pain-free life. Instead of wearing high heels, which throw the body out of its natural position, look for shoes that provide comfort and support. Make sure your feet have plenty of room within the shoe to avoid cramping and deforming. Additionally, wear looser fitting clothes to aid proper blood circulation and flexibility of muscles.

2. Eat Right
In combination with the right amount of exercise, a healthy diet promotes healthy bones and joints. The key to maintaining a balanced diet is finding ways to be intentional about incorporating nutritional foods into each meal. Make sure you are getting enough of the following nutrients to keep your orthopedic health on track:

Calcium – A mineral necessary for bone formation, calcium-rich foods such as milk products are important for building strong orthopedic health.

Vitamin D – Few foods, besides fatty fish, dairy products and egg yolk, contain high amounts of vitamin D, so getting a safe amount of sunlight can be a good source.

Supplements – If you are unable to get the right amount of calcium or vitamin D in your diet, taking a supplement is recommended. However, it is important to note that a “supplement” does not translate to a perfect “substitute.”

Every day, hundreds of millions of people worldwide wake up with orthopeadic problems that limit their ability to live a free and active life, making bone and joint conditions among the most common causes of severe long-term pain and physical disability.

1. Stay Active
One of the most important ways to maintain healthy bones and joints in the long-run is daily exercise. Whether you are implementing an active lifestyle as a preventative measure or trying to strengthen an already fragile skeletal system, the key to developing strong bones and joints over time is to start slow and ease into a routine that works for you.
