How will I know when the prosthesis is not fitting anymore?

You will have regular follow up appointments with your prosthetist to ensure the prosthesis continues to fit and function appropriately. However, if you or your child have concerns about the fit, always call or email your prosthetist. Some indicators that a prosthesis is no longer fitting include: 

• Prosthesis feels too tight or too loose 
• Prosthesis feels too short 
• Lasting redness or irritation on the residual limb 
• Pain in residual limb
