Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A prosthetic device is not the end of the story. It is the beginning of learning how to live again. Before losing his leg, Tom Swartz played drums, using his left foot to control the hi-hat cymbal. He swam regularly, danced with his wife, took his boat onto the water, and enjoyed the everyday independence most people experience without thinking about it. After becoming a below-knee amputee, he faced a different challenge: learning how to return to life with a prosthetic device. Your Prosthetic Device is not a technical manual written from a distance. It is a practical guide written from experience. Tom shares the lessons learned from living with a prosthesis, including the adjustments, frustrations, victories, and ordinary daily realities that many new amputees never hear about before leaving rehabilitation. Inside this book you will learn about: - Adjusting to life after amputation - Receiving and learning to use your first prosthesis - Understanding sockets, liners, sleeves, and prosthetic socks - Managing comfort, fit, and skin problems - Protecting your remaining leg - Handling fatigue, balance, and changing abilities - Maintaining and replacing prosthetic equipment - Aging successfully with a prosthesis - Supporting family members and caregivers - Returning to meaningful daily activities Modern prosthetic devices can restore remarkable independence, but success requires knowledge, patience, maintenance, and realistic expectations. This book offers practical guidance from someone who understands that the real goal is not simply learning to walk again. The goal is returning to the life you want to live. Your Prosthetic Device is written for amputees, their families, caregivers, and anyone who wants a better understanding of life after limb loss. The equipment changes. The methods change. Life continues. Tom Swartz Author, retired attorney, musician, boater, and below-knee amputee This item is printed on demand.
