Walking towards the pool in a safe and comfortable way may be insignificant to some, but it makes a big difference to me, every day!Sam De Visser ~ G-athlete/swimmer and on his way to Paris 2024!
Most of the components used for day-to-day prostheses are splash proof, but not designed to be submerged in water. Using these for showering or swimming, for example, is therefore not recommended.
A prosthesis, specifically designed for swimming, bathing or showering, is therefore fitted with the correct components (such as, for example, titanium), which are water-resistant. These types of prostheses are often less functional. Nor are they ideal for walking long distances, in most cases.
We can also make special ‘flipper’ prostheses for both the lower limb and the upper limb. In that case, the fin or paddle (for the upper limb) is attached directly to the socket.
