Frequently Asked Questions
What will my prosthesis look like?
Your prosthesis will be built with technology that balances functionality with natural proportions. This technology will be chosen based on your activity level; However, you have the option to include a lifelike cosmetic cover that will more closely match the skin tone and shape of your natural limb. Fabric of any pattern you like can also be laminated into the socket of your prosthesis.
How long will it take to get my prosthesis?
After a physical evaluation with one of our practioners, you should receive your prosthesis in 7-10 business days thanks to our efficient, in-house fabrication lab.
How heavy will my prosthesis be?
A lower limb prosthesis will weigh about 4-6 lbs. In most cases, the prosthesis will weigh less than the natural limb that it replaces. Given that the prosthesis is not part of your body, however, initially it will feel like carrying a weighted object. You may need to build up strength in your residual limb before you feel comfortable with the weight of your prosthesis.
How does prosthetic care work exactly?
Prosthetic care involves an ongoing relationship between you and your provider. Initially, you will be fit with a highly customized prosthetic limb. In time you may experience changes in your amputated limb for which modifcations in your prosthesis must be made. Your prosthetist will also replace components in your prosthesis due to wear and tear. Learn More >
