给截肢的麻风患者装假肢,使之恢复一定的自理能力,实现“残而不废”,对其个人、家庭和社会都有好处。但他们能装上假肢的却寥寥无几,原因是假肢厂太少,费用较高,再加之多数经济较困难;有的即使装上假肢也因不合适而不能坚持使用。麻风患者截肢的残端麻木。
To resolve difficulties for persons affected with leprosy in acquiring and mending arti- ficial limb,a shop for that has been built in 1992 in Jiangyan City,Jiangsu. Up to now,70 artificial limbs had been made for 68 persons with a mean age of 52 years,and after follow-up of three years the evaluation from medicians and users was excellent in 75. 3% and better in 25.7%. The users regarded wearing it as very comfortable,but for this the tech- nician had to repair them every month.
