What do I need to get ready for a prosthesis?

There is much you can and must do to be able to use a prosthesis and use it well. The top priorities are:

- Working through the feelings about losing a limb and deciding how to rebuild your life after amputation.
- Exercising to build the muscles needed for balance and ambulation.
- Preparing your residual limb to get a good shape for the prosthesis.
- Learning proper body positioning and strengthening to maintain tone and prevent contractures.
