Реабилитация после ампутации. Компрессионная терапия: техника бинтования культи голени

Compression therapy is necessary after any lower limb surgery, including amputations at the lower leg level. For treating swelling in preparation for prosthetic fitting, the most convenient and effective method is to bandage the lower leg stump up to the level of the lower third of the thigh. The bandaging process begins at the bottom of the stump, with the bandage coil on the inside, not the outside. Compression is achieved not by the tension of the bandage, but by the number of layers. There should be more layers on the lower part of the stump than on the upper part. We try to avoid leaving any unbandaged skin. When the bandage runs out, it is recommended to secure it with tape to avoid unwanted folds. Exercises and the position the patient should try to maintain with the stump during the day also have a positive therapeutic effect. Ottobock specialists recommend starting compression therapy approximately one month before prosthetic fitting. However, therapy is tailored to each patient individually.
