 Q : what are some goals new amputees should set for them selves ?


Ans : The process of setting goals helps you to choose where you want to go and what you want to do in the future, while taking into account how you are going to get there. This Fact Sheet looks at tips and ideas that might help you to set goals. Who can help you to set goals? In the early stages following an amputation, you may require assistance from your healthcare team to help you to set your goals. Your team can work with you to help you to achieve your goals.

 What are the benefits of setting goals?


• To help you to define a clear pathway ahead

• To be in control of what you are aiming for

• To guide your team to give you the help you need

• To plan how to achieve certain tasks and work out how long each task may take

• To help keep you motivated

• You can measure your improvement What are SMART Goals? Setting effective goals can be made easier by following a goal setting system. One type of a goal setting system is the SMART system. ‘SMART’ are goals that are:

• Specific

• Measurable

• Achievable

• Resourced and Realistic


• Time sensitive Specific: something that is directly related to what you want, and makes it very clear what needs to be achieved. Measurable: describe what you need to do to achieve this goal. Achievable: something that is realistic, how much time there is, what resources are available to help you achieve your goal. Resourced and Realistic: the goal must be important to you and something that is of benefit to you, your family, and your health. Time sensitive: set a date or target to achieve your goal. How to separate time bound goals? Goals that have a time frame around them usually come as three types. An explanation of these can be found below. Short-term goals These goals include the things that you may achieve in a short space of time. For example, when you first get your prosthesis, having the ability to stand up for short periods of time, and/or managing to walk the length of the parallel bars a number of times. Medium-term goals These goals include the things that may take a little longer to achieve. For example, having the ability to walk the length of a corridor and back again with a walking aid, or getting used to walk around safe areas of your house (like the kitchen) without a walking aid. Long-term goals These goals include things that you will gradually aim to achieve as your confidence with the prosthesis improves over several months. For example, feeling confident enough to walk through a busy shopping centre, using an escalator, going to the supermarket on your own and/or going on a holiday with your family. If you need help setting goals, speak to your therapist who can assist you to work out what is important for you.


NOTE  : Hello, I Mahen Pitale, Below Elbow Prosthetic Users, I came across some websites while surfing the internet, which would be very helpful for people who (hand and leg amputees). And here is great information about modification and their parts. And you will be inspired by watching videos of some amputee. This will give you more convenience For this, I thank the company that created the website. This information should reach maximum amputees, it is for this, not to do any business. I request the wheelchair user ,amputees to please drive ,only after doing good practice.

 Wearing Prosthetics In The Summer  Summer months are getting hotter each year. And if you're thinking of spending a day at the beach or lounging by the swimming pool, you are not exempt from some skin and prosthesis-related problems that are commonly prevalent during the hot and humid season. So, we'd like to help you keep your vacations fun by exercising a bit of caution to prevent discomfort and even jeopardizing your mobility. In this article, we’ll help you prepare to make the most out of the remaining hot season while also staying clear of season-related skin and prosthetic problems.   1. Heat-related illnesses Before we delve deeper into the most common skin and prosthetic problems you may encounter this summer, we feel that we must talk about season-related illness such as heat stroke (a.k.a. sunstroke), heat cramps, and heat exhaustion. Taking care of your body works best when it’s done from the inside out. The body is designed to cool itself down under extre

This Is the Most Amazing Biomimetic Anthropomorphic Robot Hand We've Ever Seen

Image
Image: Movement Control Laboratory/University of Washington With their hand, Xu and Todorov decided to start from scratch, duplicating the human hand mechanically in as accurate a way as possible. First, they laser scanned a human skeleton hand, and then 3D-printed artificial bones to match, which allowed them to duplicate the unfixed joint axes that we have, as Xu explains: “For example, the motion of our opposable thumb is relying on the complicated shape of the trapezium bone located at the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint. Due to the irregular shape of the trapezium bone, the exact locations of CMC joint axes are not fixed. Thus, none of the existing anthropomorphic robotic hands can restore the natural thumb motions with conventional mechanical joints that require fixed rotation axes. We 3D print artificial bones from the laser-scanned model of a cadaver skeleton hand and connect them with artificial finger joints whose range of motion, stiffness, and dynamic behaviors are very close t
