How are Prosthetics Customized for Individual Needs?
Each prosthetic is customized to fit the individual's unique anatomy and lifestyle. The process generally involves:
1. Assessment: A thorough evaluation of the patient's condition, including the size and shape of the area needing the prosthesis. 2. Design: Using advanced technologies like 3D printing and computer-aided design (CAD), a bespoke prosthetic is created. 3. Fitting: The prosthetic is then fitted, adjusted, and fine-tuned to ensure comfort and functionality. 4. Rehabilitation: Physical and occupational therapy may be required to help the patient adapt to the new prosthesis effectively.
