A prosthetic evaluation involves the fitting and adjusting of a test prosthesis to ensure you are comfortable, the prosthesis is well aligned, and the function is optimal. When we’re both comfortable, it is likely that you will take the prosthesis home for a trial to ensure all works well in your everyday life. We don’t fabricate the final prosthesis until you’ve tested it and feel confident moving forward. Once the final prosthesis is complete, we provide training on the care and operation of the prosthesis, if further training is required you can be referred to an appropriate physical therapist or occupational therapist for follow up.

For our orthotic patients, we have an appointment to evaluate the fit and function of each orthosis to be certain the design and fit is right for you. You will have time to test the orthosis in the clinic, and we can make adjustments as needed before you take it home.
