• Custom Design and Fitting
• Each prosthesis or orthosis is designed for the specific patient through the use of casts, measurements, and working models.
• First Fitting and Alignment
• Our specialists ensure that socket shape meets maximal fit and comfort specifications. Alignment is adjusted to individual gait and balance.
• Final Fitting
• Following a complete check of the prosthesis or orthosis, the patient is instructed in its use and care.
• Ongoing follow-ups and personal care are critical.
• Patients are checked periodically to ensure continuing fit, alignment, function, as activity increases.
• Hospital Calls and Home Visits
• We do make hospital calls.
• For our patients with transportation problems, we can schedule home visits.
