Prosthetic Division

Special Technologies

Our prothetists are trained and certified to design, fabricate, and fit numerous technologically advanced appliances, including the following:

• Neurotronic orthotics for the lower extremity that use nerve stimulation for ambulation without conventional orthotics to treat foot drop.
• Myoelectric devices for the upper extremity that sense and respond to muscle impulses to allow fingers to move and grasp, and to allow the lower arm to twist and extend.
• C-leg prosthetics that use computer programs to control and assist the function of the legs of above-knee-amputees, especially in walking downhill.
