Before I can start putting the prosthesis on I have to get all the tings I need to do so. | - | - | |
 |
Then I have to roll up the bandage I'm using to get into the socket. | - | ||
 |
Now I have to clean the socket to get rid of the sweat and powder from last time I used it. | - | - | |
 |
Here you see how I clean the socket with antiseptic water. | - | - | |
 |
Then I put on a sock and trousers on the prosthesis. It's important to check if you have the same color of socks on the prosthesis and your leg. ;-) | - | - | |
 |
Then it's the shoe which is put on the prosthesis. I need a tool to get it on. | - | - | |
 |
Then I powder the socket. | - | - | |
 |
My stump has to be powdered too. I use baby powder. | - | - | |
 |
Then I roll the bandage on my stump. It's important to do this very tight. | - | - | |
 |
Now the bandage is almost on. | - | - | |
 |
Then I drag myself down in the socket. | - | - | |
 |
The bandage is drawn trough a hole in the socket an the stump is drawn further and further down in the socket. | - | - | |
 |
Finally into place in the socket and the artificial leg is on. | - | - | |
 |
Now I have to drag the stocking up on the prosthesis to cover the hole in the socket and then it's on with the trousers. | - | - | |
 |
Finally done. | - | - | |
