WHAT TO EXPECT

KEEPING YOUR NEEDS IN MIND

DESIGNED TO HELP YOU MEET YOUR GOALS

We custom make your prosthetic limbs to fit your body, designed with your functional needs and goals in mind. We cast and take measurements of your residual limb to make a custom socket. Components like knees and feet are selected based on your goals, functional needs, activity level, and size, and our prosthetists continue working with you over time to ensure everything keeps working properly.

There are typically two options when you are fit with an orthosis:

Custom fabricated orthosis: 

  • Created specifically to fit your body
  • Involves casting and measurements of affected body part
  • Made in our in-house fabrication lab
  • Is fitted
  • Changes/adjustments are made before delivery to you

Custom fit prefabricated orthosis:

  • Is an off-the-shelf orthosis: used when covered body part is similar from person to person
  • Ordered based on your specific measurements
  • Fit to assure it works properly for your needs
  • adjustments/changes are made before delivery to you
