  • A prosthesis is custom made for each patient.  The fabrication process begins with a casting of your residual limb.  A prosthetic socket or device is then created and attached to a prosthetic foot or knee with hardware.  The socket is fabricated by hand, and then parts are assembled and aligned by hand.

    If you are a new amputee, the prosthetic process will begin once you are given the ‘okay’ by your physician (usually when sutures/staples are removed).  The process to fabricate and obtain a prosthetic leg usually involves 3 appointments:  casting, fitting (test version is able to be tried), and delivery (in which you are able to take home). There are approximately 1-2 weeks between each appointment.  Please keep in mind that every patient is unique, as is the speed that each human body heals.   Different situations may sometimes arise; however, we understand that getting you moving again is of utmost importance. 

    • What should I do if the fit of my prosthetic/orthotic changes?  Please contact your practitioner promptly.

    • What should I do if my prosthesis/orthosis breaks?  Discontinue use and contact your practitioner immediately.

    • Can I fix or adjust a prosthetic/orthotic by myself?   No, this could lead to bodily injury or harm and/or permanent damage to your device. (As well as void your warranty.)

    • Can I get my hard plastic orthosis wet?   Yes.  However it should be cleaned and dried thoroughly before you reapply it.  It is comes in contact with salt water, be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water.  Be aware that the cushioning inside some braces my mildew if not properly dried. 

    • Can I get my prosthesis wet?   Not usually.  Most prostheses are not water compatible, unless they have been specifically designed for water activity.
