Prosthetic Legs & Arms
We provide a full range of prosthetic services from upper to lower extremity for patients with amputations. We follow the latest technology trend and utilize the best prosthetic components from the world known companies such as: Otto Bock, Ossur, Ohio Willow Wood, and many others.
A prosthesis is a device, such as an artificial arm or prosthetic leg, etc., that replaces a missing limb, which may be lost due to disease, trauma or congenitally. There are approximately 50,000 to 60,000 new major lower limb amputations performed in the United States each year.
Leg Prostheses
We can provide a prosthetic treatment for any level of leg amputations:
- Below Knee Prosthesis
- Knee Disarticulation Prosthesis
- Above Knee Prosthesis
- Hip Disarticulation Prosthesis
★ One of the most important steps for delivering a properly fitted prosthesis, besides the prosthetic alignment, is a cast-model modification.
Arm Prostheses & Artificial Hands
Amputation of the upper extremity entails 2 critical losses of functions:
- Loss of terminal sensation
- Loss of grasp and manipulative ability
Loss of grasp and prehension is relative, and can be more readily accomplished prosthetically. This is when a prosthetist should be involved, providing the patient with a body-powered arm prosthesis or myoeletric hand.
We offer a variety of prosthetic options for upper extremity amputees.
- Below Elbow Prosthesis
- Elbow Disarticulation Prosthesis
- Above Elbow Prosthesis
- Shoulder Disarticulation Prosthesis
- Myoeletric Prosthesis
- Body-Powered Prosthesis
Our facility has a prosthetic lab with a full range of different machineries to serve our patients and fabricate custom-made prostheses. In the lab section of our clinic, we modify our positive models from the patient's cast, fabricate test and permanent sockets, make initial bench alignments, and do many other different tasks that sometimes required repairing worn-out parts, etc.
Prosthetic Fabrication and Interaction
Typical process of fabricating a prosthesis consists of the following procedures:
- Prosthetic Evaluation
- Medical Team Communication
- Casting
- Measurements
- Fabrication
- Fitting
- Alignment
- Delivery
- Training
- Follow-ups
We take great care of our patients from the initial prosthetic evaluation to the lifetime of a prosthesis!
