Seek help and support actively

Get the necessary help and support

Make sure that you receive regular follow-up by a doctor, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, orthopedic engineer, etc.

You need both professional help and support from friends and family. For many, however, contact with people who have the same experiences as themselves is one of the most important. Through Momentum you can meet people with experience who offer conversations, training, exercise, activities and social community.

Professional help

You are free to contact the orthopedic workshop for checks and adjustments, also outside agreed appointments.

Contact an orthopedic engineer if you get sores or blisters, if you need adjustments because the prosthesis does not fit or if you think there is a defect in the prosthesis. If you experience temperature rises, sores, bad smells, increasing pain or discomfort, it may be a sign that something needs to be treated. It is better to get control from a doctor, physiotherapist or orthopedic engineer once too much, than once too little.
