Prosthetics

Prosthetic limbs (prostheses) enable you to move independently, freely, and more easily. Vesalius offers specialized anatomical constructions tailored to your every need.

The Benefits of Prosthetic Science 

Mimicking the function and, sometimes, even the appearance of a real leg or arm, artificial limbs help you live your daily life functionally, autonomously, and confidently. They help you regain the completeness of your body and self.

Specifically, they offer:

• Mobility Restoration: Restoring the ability to move and perform daily activities.
• Improvement in Quality of Life: By restoring functionality, you can live a full life and reintegrate into society.
• Aesthetic Enhancement: Modern artificial limbs are designed not only for functionality – aesthetics also matter. Since they can resemble the real limb, you gain confidence in your appearance.

Categories of Prosthetic Limbs 

Even without prostheses – an artificial arm or leg – movement is possible. With the appropriate artificial limb, however, we set goals, direction, and the extent to which the body will function.

However, the type of prosthetic limb you will need varies. The process is ongoing, and the type of medical technology to be used is determined by the extent of the amputation, the clinical picture, lifestyle, and your needs.

Reintegration begins gradually with wound care and binding, preparation until the swelling subsides, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and adaptation to your new daily reality.

Upper Limb Prostheses 

Artificial upper limb prostheses are designed with specialization and adaptability with the primary goal of restoring the functions offered by the natural arm. This includes artificial limbs for the upper arm, forearm, and hand-fingers.

Lower Limb Prostheses 

This includes a large category of lower limb prostheses, such as thigh, shin, or knee, and many more. The selection of components is made considering each individual’s unique needs based on lifestyle, work, activities, level of amputation, and condition of the  limb.

High Technology Upper and Lower Limbs 

Next-generation Bionics help you regain your mobility and autonomy to a great extent. A bionic leg or arm is equipped with tiny electronic sensors that connect to the peripheral nerves in the residual limb. This way, they provide excellent flexibility and control even in the finest, detailed movements.

The Vesalius rehabilitation team is dedicated to meeting the demands created by new life conditions.
