Nowadays, many prosthetics are designed to absorb shock.

However, many patients are unaware of the benefits of shock absorption.

Today, YOBAND will introduce the shock absorption function of artificial limbs.

You want to know about our body often need to rely on a variety of mechanisms to absorb natural impact, but after amputees amputation stump is sensitive, cannot bear too big impact, and as the amputation level increased, damping capacity are also constantly weakened, at this time if you have any additional trauma or degenerative diseases amputees, is more in need of artificial limbs,

Shock absorption means that the foot can reduce the impact from the vertical direction, especially when the ground is first loaded.

So why the need for shock absorption?

First, take a look at the shock absorption data of healthy people:

Normal human body shock absorption mechanism,

1. Controlled foot plantar curve when touching the ground

2. Controlled knee flexion when touching the ground

3, heel fat cushion

4, the physiological curvature of the spine

What mechanisms are used to achieve shock absorption？
To put it simply, the greater the impact force in the daily life and work of patients, the prosthesis needs to have better shock absorption function. The human body needs to rely on a variety of mechanisms to achieve the absorption of natural impact force. The higher the amputation level, the more the shock absorption capacity is weakened.
After human amputation, the stump is more sensitive and cannot withstand too much impact.
Patients with additional trauma or degenerative changes need better shock absorption.
Life is engaged in high impact, stump or spine lesions need more prosthetic feet with shock absorption function.
Simply put, the more impact the patient experiences in daily life and work, the more the prosthetic foot needs to have better shock absorption.
 
The foot on the market mainly achieves the shock absorption effect through the following mechanisms:
1. Soft or elastic heels
2, integrated into the foot damping element
3. Separate shock absorbing elements
 
Relatively speaking, the damping effect of the foot with the shock element is better, independent and integrated components work in the same principle, have very good damping effect.
At present, there are many technologies that make the prosthetic foot have shock absorption function. The effect of shock absorption function of independent components is the best one, but the components are heavy.
For patients with higher amputation level, the role of shock absorber is more important, especially for patients with high activity level, additional trauma or degenerative diseases is the biggest beneficiary of shock absorber, its components can reduce the impact of walking on the body, reduce the damage of prosthetic walking on the body, so that patients can walk more comfortably.
Therefore, when choosing a prosthetic company, amputee patients with prosthetic limbs must make a field visit to determine whether the prosthetic company really has a technical team to make a prosthetic acceptance cavity. Qualified prosthetic acceptance cavity plays a key role in their own comfortable experience and prosthetic walking gait.

USA YOBAND prosthetic innovation technology is shared, focusing on financial and material resources, focusing on and producing its own research and development, giving full play to its unique core competitive advantages, and fully integrating global resources with international peers for the benefit of disabled friends! So when selecting a prosthetic company, the amputee who installs prosthetic limbs must investigate on the spot to determine whether the prosthetic company really has a technical team to make a prosthetic receptor cavity. The qualified prosthetic receptor cavity plays a key role in their own comfortable experience and prosthetic walking gait.
