Prosthetics Treatment Process

Before your first visit 

• Make an appointment (Be sure to ask if there is anything you need to bring)
  

During your visit

We will ask you to provide the following information:

• General information - address, age, phone number etc. (You can do this ahead of time by downloading our form)
• Your medical history
• Your goals
• We will review your prescription and/or professional reports

We’ll explain funding sources and options.

You will have a physical exam and a gait analysis.

We will complete both a static functional evaluation and a dynamic functional evaluation without your prosthesis.

Our clinician will capture the shape of the body segment (ie. cast, scan, measurements)

Your clinician will discuss a treatment plan with you.
