From

1.Advising Orthopedic Surgeon about prospective amputation cases
2.Talking to amputees on the way forward and what type of artificial limb to use.
3.Recommending artificial limbs fitting Center.
4.Advising Diabetic amputees what materials to use for wearing their artificial limbs(Prostheses)

The technology behind the making of artificial limbs or prostheses, has gone beyond the use of wood and wooden limbs.
Nigeria has finally began to catch up on new technologies. i.E Modular prostheses or limbs.

Hi LadyF

When it comes to upper extremities artificial limbs or prostheses. The types available range from

Cosmetic: This usually is just a look alike copy of the arm. usually a cosmetic glove or a silicone cover that can have features ranging from vague to hair follicles and skin pores look alike. But the hand won't have any funtional options(Grip, open palm, shake)

Voluntary opening and closing: With this one will be able to open and close the fingers for gripping. the gripping is cable controlled and worked by a harnest.

Myo arm: this same as above but controlled by the patients nerve imposes. The patient just has to feel the arm closes and it does. But it takes time for patients to adapt and a MYO test needs to be done.

Bionic Arms: Same as above but there is individual finger control so the patient can do more with the arm

hope this helps ask your question

Amputee Nigeria: The Story part 1

There is a lot that needs to be said about amputation and the plight of amputees in Nigeria, but most times the basics are left unsaid. How does one become an amputee, if asked this most people will say it comes about by the loss of a limb be it an arm or leg or both through accidents.
We tend to overlook the story of how someone came to be without a limb, and what can be done to help such a person live a fulfilled life. We forget that they just went through a painful procedure and are reminded about the trauma of the procedure, every time they look at what they have lost. It was not easy for the individual, some of them come out of it stronger, and some come out of it scarred for life, others…..
What is it all about, is there hope for these people. The answer is, yes.

One just needs to look at countless cases online of people with disabilities or amputations leading a normal life.

You might say but that the US, Britain, China and some other developed countries of the world. Yes true, there things are made more easy for them. But in all, let’s consider that the process remains the same. The lost something and are constantly reminded of it when they look at it.

The key for them was that they understood what they lost and learnt ways to continue living with it and enjoy a full live. Make no mistake here, The LEARNT ways to continue living. For this is what must always be done. You learn new ways to live.

Like someone who lost his house to a storm or fire, he/she must adapt and find a way.
Like when we lose a loved one so key to the family structure, be it the head of a house or the bread winner. The family must adapt to new ways to live and grow into something better.

The human being was built with adaptation in Mind, case in point.
Put an eye patch on and wear it for 6 months, the other eye will adapt to the situation almost immediately.
When you break a wrist or your writing arm and it’s put in a sling or cast. You will learn how to write with the other hand.
We can always adapt to any situation in our daily lives. What holds us back is the trauma of the amputation or the disability.

The procedure in developed countries for any amputation case is, Once the amputation is don’t the patient is required to meet with a psychiatrist during the period of healing to aid in overcoming the trauma, of course here in Nigeria, it’s the friends and family that filling in that gap. Although now a days the service can be acquire.

A lot is now possible in Nigeria for the amputee and people living with disabilities. The problem still remains that the trauma of their ordeal usually is a big issue coupled with a general lack of information that should be readily available to help people make better choices and decisions.

Thats a fairly recent developing in the prosthetic and orthotic world.

The world is gradually moving to replace the use of voluntary and passive prostheses with Myo and Bionic prosthese for upper extremities(hands and elbow amputees).

The lower extremities(Leg, knee, ankle amputees) is still in the process of catching up.

As you can see its catching up pretty quickly.

When blood supply to a wound is insufficient the wound will never heal because it lacks oxygen and nutrients. Instead, it continues to expand and degenerate. Therefore, among other measures taken for wound to heal, the wound must receive enough blood supply and oxygen.

There is no safer and more cost effective way of doing this without the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (hbot).

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy saves patients from amputations in 75% of cases. This means some amputations can be avoided.

Hi Koreskby

I have to ask if the lady is diabetic. If she is then that recommedation is valid.

For a prosthesis there are two NGO's that can help with a prosthesis

Standingwithhope is one of them, but they are in Ghana and the us. You can have your friend write to them

Team Membe is another, they work for bomb blast victims and have been a big help.

You can google their names and get their details to the lady.
