June is National Safety Month, which is the perfect time to address stability—especially if you wear a prosthesis or orthotic brace.

Here’s a quick safety checklist as we head into summer:
▪️ Watch out for wet pool decks
▪️ Choose shoes with a stable sole and be careful when choosing flip flops or sandals
▪️ Slow down on stairs and curbs when carrying bags

Remember: if something feels off, don’t push through discomfort. Small fit issues can affect balance, and we’re happy to make adjustments to help. Request an adjustment here: https://ow.ly/HaIv50YVEMq

Between graduations, vacations, and long weekends, a little prep goes a long way when it comes to travel plans. If you’re traveling with a prosthesis or orthosis, here’s a quick travel checklist:

▪️ Backup socks/liners
▪️ Small cleaning cloth/wipes
▪️ Any tools/supplies your clinician recommends
▪️ A plan for swelling such as extra breaks
▪️ Comfortable footwear that has been broken in or tested
▪️ If you require assistance at the airport, call ahead to make arrangements

Thinking ahead now can ensure a smooth vacation with all of the fun and none of the stress. ✈️

Whether you wear a prosthetic device or support someone who does, a quick daily skin check is a game-changer. Here’s a skin check routine to follow:

▪️ Look for redness that doesn’t fade after removing the device
▪️ Check bony area and edges where friction happens
▪️ Notice swelling, warmth, or tender spots
▪️ If something looks “new,” keep track and reach out early

Skin issues can increase with heat and activity. Catching issues early makes it easier to prevent extended discomfort.

Being a new amputee comes with a lot of considerations—questions, emotions, rehab, and big life changes. Here are a few early priorities that can help set you up for a successful readjustment:

▪️ Build strength for balance and mobility
▪️ Care for the residual limb by following your care team’s instructions consistently
▪️ Seek support such as a peer support group
▪️ Work with a team that communicates clearly

At Capstone Orthotics & Prosthetics, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Here’s what to expect: https://ow.ly/sKnJ50YIP52

If you’re more active now than you were during the winter, it’s normal to experience an “off” feeling with your prosthesis or orthotic device, and a fit check allows us to make adjustments so you get the comfort and support you need.

Here are a few signs it’s time for a fit check:
▪️ New rubbing or redness
▪️ Pressure points that weren’t there before
▪️ A change in balance or gait
▪️ You’re tightening or loosening straps more than usual

Comfort and alignment matter! Give us a call or click here to schedule your appointment: https://ow.ly/OEHv50YIP1S
