Prosthetics
Prosthetics is the use of both art and science in the replacement of lost limbs, or other components of the human body. These losses can be due to traumatic events, disease processes, or congenital defects. This replacement process results in an artificial rendering of the lost structural component with every attempt made to reproduce as close as humanly possible the patients’ pre-morbid function, allowing for the ability to return patients to their prior activities of daily living and beyond, where applicable.
There are a variety of designs, materials, applications and componentry that go into the make-up of each prosthesis that are specific to each individual’s needs and desires. Swiss Balance strives to afford everyone the most functional means to attain their goals and encourages each patient to participate in the planning and execution of the process to its fruition.
