While gardening may not be quite as physically taxing as most yardwork (here's我们在院子上的博客）it can still take a lot of effort. You need the right tools for the job, and for you, one of those tools may be your prosthesis.
The number one thing with gardening is that it's messy. You need to make sure that the terminal device you’re using can get wet and muddy. The TASKA hand is the only多关节肌电手that can get wet. Other options include anelectronic terminal device(ETD) and abody-powered hook. Both of those can get a good grip on a trowel, while the TASKA has great pinching capability for grasping seeds and pulling weeds.
当使用肥料时，ETD或车身钩子比Taska Hand更好。虽然您的任务手可能能够弄湿，但诸如肥料之类的苛性剂可能太粗糙了。如果您确实在假体中获得肥料或任何其他化学物质，请务必wash your deviceimmediately. You should do the same for an ETD or hook–but you can wait until you finish your task. We checked in with our prosthetist, Mac, from ourNorthwest Center in Portland, OR，将园艺手套戴在多个刻的手上。他的回答是：“众所周知，多刻手很难戴上手套，除非它们是硝酸或乳胶检查手套，否则在很多情况下，手套会阻碍手的功能。”请务必与您的假肢谈论他们关于硝酸或乳胶手套的建议以及应该有多厚。但是最好的选择是使用设计用于肮脏或湿润的崎work的设备。这只是为什么重要的一个例子to have more than one device.
Pruning may be a difficult task with any terminal device. Using a hand pruner may require hand dominance retraining or adaptive equipment that helps you complete tasks safely and efficiently. Not to worry–我们的临床疗法专家帮助我们的患者learn how to use a prosthesisand train their sound hand to do some of the tasks the other hand used to do.
