Can my child take off their prosthesis throughout the day?

Yes, the prosthesis can come on and off as needed. Some goals of the prosthesis are to make the patient’s daily activities safer, easier, and more functional for them. If there are any activities where it is preferable to not use it, that is fine! It is also encouraged to take the prosthesis off throughout the day to give the leg and skin breaks, and to dry off the limb if it gets sweaty.
