Restoring mobility, independence, and confidence through advanced prosthetic solutions

Schedule a Consultation

Prosthesis Overview

A prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part lost due to trauma, disease, or congenital conditions.

It restores function, appearance, and enhances mobility and independence.

Prosthetic limb fitting

Types of Prostheses

Lower Limb Prostheses

Designed for leg amputations to restore walking ability and mobility:

  • Transtibial (Below-Knee): Replaces the lower leg while preserving the knee joint
  • Transfemoral (Above-Knee): Replaces the entire leg above the knee
  • Knee Disarticulation (Through-Knee): Amputation through the knee joint
  • Hip Disarticulation: Complete leg removal at the hip joint
  • Partial Foot Prostheses: For toe fillers and forefoot replacements
Lower Limb Prosthesis
Lower Limb Solutions

Custom-designed prosthetic legs that restore natural gait and mobility.

Upper Limb Prostheses

Designed for arm and hand amputations to restore function and dexterity:

  • Transradial (Below Elbow): Replaces the forearm below the elbow
  • Transhumeral (Above Elbow): Replaces the arm above the elbow
  • Wrist Disarticulation: Amputation through the wrist joint
  • Elbow Disarticulation: Amputation through the elbow joint
  • Shoulder Disarticulation: Complete arm removal at the shoulder joint
Upper Limb Prosthesis
Upper Limb Solutions

Advanced prosthetic arms and hands that restore function and appearance.

How Prostheses Work

Attachment

Prostheses are attached to the residual limb using custom sockets and suspension systems for secure fit.

Control Mechanisms

Controlled by body power (muscle movement) or external power (battery-powered, myoelectric systems).

Customization

Customized for specific activities like walking, running, climbing, or specialized tasks.

Innovative Technology

Modern prosthetics incorporate advanced materials like carbon fiber, silicone, and microprocessor-controlled joints that adapt to different walking speeds and terrains.

Key Components of a Prosthesis

Socket

Custom-made interface that fits onto the residual limb for comfort and stability.

Suspension System

Secures the prosthesis to the body using straps, suction, or pin-lock mechanisms.

Joints

Mechanical or microprocessor-controlled knees, ankles, elbows, or wrists.

Pylon (Shank)

Structural connector that provides support and determines prosthesis length.

Foot or Terminal Device

Enables movement and function - prosthetic feet, hands, or specialized tools.

Interface

Cushioning layer (gel liners, socks) between the socket and residual limb.

Specific Prosthesis Types & Features

Partial Foot Prosthesis

Partial Foot Prosthesis

  • Replaces part or all of the foot
  • Types include toe fillers, forefoot/midfoot devices
  • Benefits: Improved mobility, stability, pain reduction
  • Restores confidence in walking
Transtibial Prosthesis

Transtibial Prosthesis (Below-Knee)

  • Components: Socket, suspension, pylon, prosthetic foot
  • Key considerations: Socket fit, limb volume changes
  • Interface comfort is crucial for long-term use
  • Allows for near-natural walking motion
Transfemoral Prosthesis

Transfemoral Prosthesis (Above-Knee)

  • Components: Socket, knee joint, shank, foot
  • Includes microprocessor knees for natural movement
  • Powered joints adapt to different walking speeds
  • Requires more training than below-knee prostheses
Knee Disarticulation Prosthesis

Knee Disarticulation Prosthesis

  • Amputation at the knee joint
  • Benefits: End-bearing, muscle preservation
  • Better balance and control
  • More cosmetic options available
  • Ideal for children due to growth plate preservation
Hip Disarticulation Prosthesis

Hip Disarticulation Prosthesis

  • Used after full leg removal at the hip
  • Controlled by pelvic movement
  • Requires specialized rehabilitation
  • Innovations focus on robotics and advanced socket designs
  • Custom solutions for maximum comfort and function
Upper Limb Prosthesis

Upper Limb Prostheses

  • Passive: Cosmetic, minimal function
  • Body-powered: Uses cables/harness
  • Myoelectric: Uses muscle signals for movement
  • Hybrid: Combines both systems
  • Components: Socket, suspension, control system, terminal device

Prosthetics & Physiotherapy

Close collaboration between physiotherapists and prosthetists is essential for successful rehabilitation.

Therapists should understand:

  • Fit and alignment to detect gait issues and recommend adjustments
  • Function of components for effective training and usage guidance
  • Proper donning and doffing techniques for daily use
  • Adjustment advice for comfort and performance optimization
