Question 4

What is the process for getting a prosthetic?

Accepted Answer

The process involves an initial consultation which includes gathering medical history and taking measurements. A week or two later a diagnostic socket will be fit to ensure a satisfactory fit. After successful fitting of the diagnostic socket and obtaining approval from insurance, it will be duplicated and made out of more durable materials, typically carbon fiber. Regular follow-ups will be scheduled to ensure the prosthesis is fitting and functioning properly. Overtime, your residual limb will change shape and volume for a variety of reasons, and adjustments may need to be made to maintain a comfortable fit.

Question 5

How do I care for my orthotic or prosthetic device?

Accepted Answer

Proper care involves regular cleaning and maintenance. Generally, most orthotic/prosthetic devices can be cleaned with mild soapy water and then air dried. We also provide follow-up care for your device and will perform adjustments or repairs as needed.
