Upper ExtremityThe upper extremity program at Prosthetic Innovations begins with a thorough evaluation from our team of clinicians. We educate the client and identify the following potential upper extremity prosthetic options:
No Prosthesis
“Passive” Cosmetic Restoration
Body-Powered Prosthesis
Externally-Powered “Myo Electric” Prosthesis
Hybrid Design Prosthesis
Activity/Sport Specific Prosthesis
Prosthetic Innovations then fabricates and fits an investigative prosthesis to test and refine the design and function of the device. Together our team will further develop this design to achieve an exceptional fitting and functioning prosthesis. Definitively, we construct your prosthesis on-site in our state of the art lab. We utilize lightweight flexible materials that improve comfort and suspension allowing our clients to realize greater functional return.
Upper limb amputation is much less prevalent in the United States than that of the lower extremity. Vital to your success, it is essential for your prosthetic team to apply years of advanced upper extremity training, commitment to your goals and compassion for your needs. Together we will get you “back in the game.”
