Going to The Beach and Pools with a Prosthetic Leg

Notes & Links:
Not much in the way of links this week. It's really just about the advice and considerations for spending time at the beach, in pools, and hot tubs.
1. Ask your prosthetist about getting an extra socket or using a check socket for the beach/pool.
2. Ask your prosthetist about an extra foot shell that you can glue a non-slip sole onto and drill holes into.
3. Remember to disassemble and wash your leg parts off with fresh water after going to the ocean. Salt water is corrosive, and sand will get everywhere.
4. If you notice some corrosion on on your leg. A little, as in very small amount like a drop or three of WD-40 on a paper towel can help clean it off.

Stainless steel screws and bolts bind more and are more prone to galling and getting stuck. Being in metal fabrication, we usually use wax on any stainless screws nuts or bolts.

Great Video.....what do you use to alleviate foot squeaks in the foot shell? I was at the beach a few weeks ago and cleaned the sand out but now have some squeaking going on. I also wondered if you ever wash the sock that goes over the foot. Thank you.

I just got a prototype prosthetic leg to use before I get my permanent one. are you supposed to feel pressure on the lower inside of your knee when you use it? sometimes I feel pressure & if I use it for a little bit it starts to feel like pain. also, I can feel it hyperextend my knee at times.
