Some of the common conditions that may require the use of prosthetic devices include:
Dysvascular amputation, resulting from a limb being surgically removed due to complications from poor blood circulation or neurologic conditions
Traumatic amputation, resulting from injuries or accidents (like a car crash)
Cancer-related amputation, resulting from a limb being surgically removed to prevent the spread of cancer
Congenital limb deficiencies, where a limb or limbs are missing or undeveloped at birth
Some of the benefits prosthetic devices provide include:
Restoration of function, allowing you to perform daily activities, such as walking, grasping objects and maintaining balance
Improved mobility, making it possible to move more freely, navigate your environment, and engage in hobbies and sports
Psychological well-being, by helping you regain a sense of control and confidence in your abilities
