Watch this short instructional video clip of
Unilateral Above-the-Knee Amputee - Entering a Car – Prosthesis First and read the following step-by-step instructions to learn how to function with a prosthetic limb:
Entering the car, leading with the prosthesis is an advanced activity, requiring strength, coordination, and confidence. A safer and more conservative approach is to sit first, and then swing legs into vehicle.
Instructions:
1. Approach the car, using the door to help balance.
2. Swing the prosthesis into the car. The prosthesis must go into the car as far as possible.
3. As prosthetic knee flexes, sit on seat.
4. Bring "sound" leg into car.
Note: This prosthetic instructional video is for demonstration purposes only. Many tasks require professional instruction.
