Types of Lower Extremity Prosthetics
Every individual's journey is unique, and so are their prosthetic needs. We offer a comprehensive range of prosthetic feet, knees and sockets, designed to meet diverse lifestyles and amputation levels.
Prosthetic Leg Above Knee (Transfemoral Amputation)
For individuals who have had an amputation above the knee (AK), a transfemoral prosthesis is custom-designed to incorporate a prosthetic knee joint, pylon, and foot. We offer many types of devices, including advanced microprocessor knees which offer intuitive control, stability, and a more natural gait, adapting to various terrains and walking speeds; as well as various mechanical and traditional prostheses. We focus on creating a comfortable and secure socket for your residual limb to ensure optimal fit and function.
Artificial Leg Below Knee (Transtibial Amputation)
If your amputation is below the knee (BK), a transtibial prosthesis provides support and replaces the foot and ankle function. These prostheses are typically lighter and can offer excellent mobility. Our specialists work closely with you to design a custom socket that perfectly fits your residual limb, ensuring comfort and preventing skin issues.
Running and Sports Prosthetic Legs
For active individuals or those aspiring to get back to sports, we offer specialized prosthetic legs for running and other high-activity lifestyles. These high-performance prostheses are engineered with dynamic components that provide energy return and stability, allowing you to run, jump, climb, play, and participate in your favorite activities with confidence.
Our Specialized Lower Limb Prosthetic Services
At Ottobock Care, we specialize in the critical components that make up your lower limb prosthesis, ensuring each part works together seamlessly to give you the best possible outcome.
Prosthetic Feet
We know that the right prosthetic foot makes everything else possible. Even the most sophisticated knee technology needs the right foot to perform at its best. We offer a wide range of feet designed for different activity levels, from everyday walking to high-impact sports, focusing on stability, energy return, and a natural feel.
Prosthetic Knees
For individuals with an above knee prosthetic leg, that sense of freedom comes from confidence in every step. And confidence begins with trust in the knee. We specialize in advanced prosthetic knees, providing a range of options, including intelligent systems that adapt to your movements and provide exceptional support on various terrains.
Socket Solutions
There's nothing more important than the comfort and fit of your socket. The socket is the direct connection between your residual limb and the prosthesis, making its design crucial for comfort, control, and preventing skin issues. Our experienced prosthetists meticulously evaluate your residual limb, then utilize either advanced 3D scanning or traditional casting techniques to capture its precise shape. This detailed impression allows us to custom-design a socket that provides optimal comfort and control. Whether it's the liner protecting your skin or the accessories that enable you to live life on your terms, Ottobock Care has options and expertise to craft socket solutions that work best for you. We prioritize a secure, comfortable fit that empowers you to move with confidence, and we are skilled in managing changes in your residual limb volume over time.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
The Prosthetic Fitting Process
Getting a prosthetic limb is a personalized journey that involves several steps, all centered around your comfort and goals. Please note that your individual experience and the exact number of appointments may vary based on your specific needs and the complexity of your prosthesis.
Initial Consultation & Assessment: We'll discuss your lifestyle, goals, and conduct a thorough examination of your residual limb.
Measurement & Casting: Precise measurements and casting of your residual limb are taken to create a perfectly custom-made socket – the most crucial part for comfort and function.
Test Socket Fitting: You'll try on a temporary "test socket" to ensure the fit is accurate and comfortable before the final prosthesis is made.
Component Selection: Based on your needs and activity level, our certified prosthetists will recommend the most suitable components, including advanced knees, feet, and suspension systems.
Final Fitting & Training: Once your definitive prosthesis is ready, we'll ensure a perfect fit and provide comprehensive gait training to help you learn how to use your new limb effectively and confidently.
