Our board certified orthotic staff members, using advanced techniques, equipment, and ultra-light materials including thermoplastics and titanium, design and fit orthoses that are prescribed by physicians to provide correction and support for adults and children with:
In recent years, advancements in technology and materials have enabled prostheses to more closely mimic human form and function than ever before. Incorporating carbon-fiber, carbon-graphite, titanium, and lightweight thermoplastics into prostheses results in state-of-the-art energy-storing feet, hydraulic knees, lightweight pylons, and myoelectric hands and arms, just to name a few. Improvements have also been made in sockets, often with computer-aided fabrication techniques and in cushion liners, in many instances dramatically improving the comfort and fit for a patient. Technology and improved materials do not by themselves guarantee a better prosthesis. It takes knowledge, understanding, and personalized attention to each patient. Our board-certified staff takes the time to listen to the individual needs of our patients, weigh and discuss the options available, and only then begin the custom fitting process. Proper fit, fabrication, and final preparation is not something that can be achieved in just one or two visits. Time is needed to allow the individual to adapt to a new, improved, or adjusted prosthesis. Only then can we and the patient be assured that the prosthesis will continue to feel good, look good, and perform well.
