What are the Challenges Associated with Custom Prosthetics?
Several challenges can arise in the use of custom prosthetics: - Cost: Custom prosthetics can be expensive, and not all insurance plans cover them. - Adjustment Period: Patients may require time to adjust to their new prosthetics, and this can be physically and emotionally taxing. - Maintenance: Prosthetics require regular maintenance and adjustments to ensure optimal performance and comfort. - Infection Risk: The interface between the prosthetic and the skin can be prone to infection, requiring vigilant care.
