How to Circleg

The Circleg Guide

Life after an amputation is a journey — one that doesn’t stop once you receive a prosthetic.

It asks for resilience, confidence, and support along the way. To stand by you on this path, we created the Circleg Guide together with experts and amputees. It’s a practical companion for your everyday life: filled with tips, insights, and practical advice to help you navigate this new chapter with strength. We hope it serves you well!

Who is this guide for?

This guide, created with expert insights, is for anyone living with limb loss. Whether you are adjusting to a new situation or have been using a prosthetic leg for years - this guide is here for you. Next to that it can be a useful tool for caregivers. This guide is here to equip you with the basic tools and knowledge to make your journey smoother.

 These are some of the topics we have covered in the guide. 

  • General care advice for your residual leg 

  • How to deal with Phantom Pain
