What to expect?
When in need of a prosthesis for an amputated limb or an orthosis for a limb that is not quite working the way it should , there are a few steps we'll need to follow to get you taken care of. We are committed to making these steps as seamless as possible and getting you the care you need as quickly as possible.
A Free Consultation
We'll get you scheduled for a free evaluation to get to know you and make a treatment plan to help you achieve your goals. We can do this evaluation in person at one of our clinics, remotely via telehealth, or if transportation is a significant challenge for you, we may even be able to come to your home. We'll likely ask for some basic demographics and your insurance information to ensure we can bill your insurance for the care we provide.
Shape Capture
We're sometimes able to do this step in the first visit depending on the treatment you need, but if that's not the case we can set up another visit. Many of the devices we provide are custom-made for each individual, which means we need to somehow capture the shape of the part of the body we're working with. We may do this through a 3D scan, a mold, or measurements. This video shows an example of a casting in one of our clinics.
Test Fitting
Depending on the type of device we're providing, we may need to do a test fitting to ensure what we are providing fits correctly. These devices are often made of plastic that can be heated and shaped for an individualized fit.
Fitting and Delivery
After the device has been custom-fabricated, we'll see you for the final fitting. During this visit we'll likely make some finishing touches, teach you how to use the device, and give you time to test it out. When you take it home we will then bill your insurance for the care we've provided.
Follow Up
Understanding that there may be a learning curve in device use and potentially some fitting adjustments that will need to be made, we will see you for a follow up visit a few weeks after device fitting and delivery. All devices we fit have a 90-day warranty, during which we will make any and all adjustments needed, even replace the device if necessary, to ensure it is fitting and functioning correctly. Even after the 90 days we are happy to see you for simple adjustments.
