We specialize with amputee rehab

Advanced innovative prosthetic systems offered to amputees on referral from a licensed physician include endo and exoskeletal systems for all levels of amputation from partial foot to hemipelvectomy and partial hand to inter scapular-inter thoracic. They also include ischial containment sockets such as the CAT CAM, Scandinavian type flexible sockets with rigid external frame, silicone and other gel type suction liners, conventional and hydraulic type knee systems, cushion pylons, axial rotation units, dynamic response foot/ankle systems such as the Flex Foot or the Genesis II, computerized control systems for the upper and lower limb, myoelectric upper limb systems, and lightweight fabrication techniques.

Our consultations are offered to both new and longtime amputees in the hospital, in rehab clinics, or wherever else the need arises.

Patient/Client Services

• Prosthetic Evaluations
Consultations with the patient and other members of the medical rehabilitation team give careful consideration to desires for comfort, optimum function, and cosmetic appearance.

• Custom Design/Fit
Our prostheses are designed and/or fitted to each individual. This will require some or all of the following: extensive notes, measurements, drawings, cast impressions of the missing limb, and/or photos.

• Initial Fitting and Dynamic Alignment
Preliminary or test fittings are used to determine proper size, fit and comfort. Most definitive prostheses require the use of a 'diagnostic socket'. Prosthetic alignment changes are made to determine proper walking balance and comfort.

• Prosthetic Delivery 'Check Out' and Instructions
The prostheses is given a final 'check out' at delivery to assure it has met our standards for high quality and that it meets with the patient's approval. The patient is instructed in the use and care of the prosthesis. Finally, suggestions are made regarding any further medical rehabilitation services (such as physical or occupational therapy) that our staff feels may benefit the patient.

• Follow-up Visits
One of the most important aspects of our service is scheduled follow-up visits in assuring continued patient satisfaction. Of course, we encourage our patients to schedule or visit our office for 'emergency needs'.
