Transfemoral Prosthetic Care Is Eastside’s Specialty
While many prosthetic offices see few transfemoral patients, at Eastside O&P we are lucky to work with a high volume of diverse patients who use above knee prosthetic legs.
At Eastside O&P our ABC Certified Prosthetists focus on how the socket design functions and fits in with your everyday life. We don’t make the final prosthesis until we are confident we have gotten it right. Whether this is your first prosthesis or you have been using a prosthesis for years, we are dedicated to exploring suspension mechanisms, socket designs, knees, feet, and componentry options.
Eastside O&P provides everyday prostheses and activity specific for swimming, biking, running, hiking etc. We don’t limit ourselves to what we have done in the past and are always open to new ideas and technologies.
Our Prosthetist are also knowledgeable about providing care for people with osteointegration.
All fabrication is done in-house by an experienced technician. Communication between the team is strong ensuring your prosthesis is made efficiently and done well.
At Eastside you as the patient are the center of everything we do. We look forward to meeting you!
Socket Design Focused
The innovative growing technology of prosthetic knees and feet have made a helpful impact for amputees, but the most important part of a prosthesis is the Socket. The socket is the interface between their limb and the prosthesis. For lower limb amputees, the socket allows the transfer of body weight through the prosthesis to the ground. This needs to be comfortable, responsive, and consistent.
At Eastside we use a variety of socket designs and suspension methods. We believe in both ischial containment and subischial socket designs depending on anatomy, strength, and activities of the individual. We routinely utilize suction, elevated vacuum, or locking suspension methodsin the socket design.
The only way to confirm the appropriate design and daily consistency of the prosthesis is by diagnostic fittings and component trials. When appropriate we will fabricate multiple diagnostic socket and setup trail fittings for microprocessor knees and feet.
