Frequently Asked Questions

Prices vary widely: a basic cosmetic/simple below-knee limb is a few thousand RMB, while functional myoelectric arms or smart knees run tens of thousands. Some regions' disability assistive-device subsidies, work injury insurance, or civil-affairs aid can cover part of the cost—check your local policy.

Consult your local disabled persons' federation or designated center about fitting and subsidies, and keep receipts.

Usually apply at your local community/street office, get a disability assessment at a designated hospital, then the federation issues the certificate. With it, you can request an assistive-device fitting assessment at designated centers and receive subsidies per the local catalog.

Processes differ by region—check the local federation site or service portal, or ask your prosthesis provider for help.
