Lower Limb Orthotics
Lower limb orthotics refer to specialized devices that are designed to support, stabilize, or improve the function of the foot, ankle, or leg.
Unlike prosthetics, which replace a missing limb, orthotics are used to supplement or enhance the function of the existing limb. Lower limb orthotics can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, such as foot drop, ankle instability, and knee osteoarthritis. These devices can take many different forms, such as braces, shoe inserts, or ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), and are customized to fit the individual's specific needs.
Upper Limb Orthotics
Upper limb orthotics refer to specialized devices that are designed to support, stabilize, or improve the function of the hand, wrist, elbow, or shoulder.
Like lower limb orthotics, upper limb orthotics are used to supplement or enhance the function of the existing limb. Upper limb orthotics can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and shoulder instability. These devices can take many different forms, such as splints, braces, or prosthetic hands, and are customized to fit the individual's specific needs.
Special Orthotics
Special orthotics refer to customized devices that are designed to meet the unique needs of an individual with a specific physical condition.
These orthotics are typically created for individuals who have complex or rare conditions that require a tailored solution. Special orthotics can be used to address a wide range of conditions, such as scoliosis, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries. The design and fabrication of special orthotics often involve a team of healthcare professionals, including orthotists, physical therapists, and physicians.

FAQ's
Some people are ready for their temporary prosthesis as early as 2-weeks following the
removal of all staples and sutures. This will vary from person to person. As a general rule,
when the surgical site is fully healed and most of the swelling has disappeared, you will be
ready for the next step. Each patient’s healing time differs depending on their overall health
condition.
You should wear your shrinker 23 hours per day (unless told differently by your physician)
and change it every other day. If you do not have a second shrinker, another one can be
purchased, Your shrinker should be removed when bathing, and if any numbness or tingling
occurs.
Walking will vary because healing is different for each person. On average, healing time will
range from 1-3 months. However, it could be longer for patients with diabetes or other
health related issues. Your ability to walk is determined by how hard you work in therapy,
and regain strength and range of motion.
Phantom pain will also vary from person to person. Some people never experience it, while
others experience it from time to time forever. Often times when you are fit with your
prosthesis, the pain or sensation may decrease due to the total contact provided by the
socket. Sometimes, stump shrinkers also provide relief and there are a number of
techniques that can be used to reduce phantom pains that your therapist will discuss with
you.
Physical and Occupational Therapy plays a very important part in your rehabilitation
process. You will learn new techniques for walking which are key to a speedy recovery.

Yes, your residual limb will shrink as the swelling goes down and will change from a bulbous shape to a thinner, cone like shape. There are various methods used for reducing the swelling that include wrapping the limb, and exercises.
Your liner should be washed every night. Make sure it is cleaned thoroughly to remove any layers of bacteria/dirt build-up. In addition, you should disinfect your liner once a week by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol.
Not necessarily, however, better and more efficient service can be provided when we see
patients in our Clinic. This allows us to access the tools in our lab and allows us to make adjustments to your prosthesis quickly and efficiently. If transportation and/or physical challenges are difficult for you, a home visit can be arranged by calling our Clinic.
The number of renovations to your home will depend upon your personal needs. Many patients will need a shower chair (Med Supply carries a number of options which can be found here), detachable shower head and grab rails for the bathroom. You may also need to consider a ramp for the entrance to your home.
Yes, there are amputees involved in just about every sport. If you have participated in sports prior to your amputation, you can probably continue afterwards. Many sports have organised programs for amputees. Please be sure and let your prosthetist know about your desire to play sports, so they can design your prosthesis with that in mind. Most sport-specific prosthetics are not covered by insurance, you may incur an out-of-pocket cost.
