Our Services
1. Orthotics: Precision Support Systems
What are Orthotic Devices?
Medical-grade wearable supports (braces/splints) that:
→ Correct abnormal posture/joint alignment
→ Reduce pain & prevent injuries
→ Improve mobility in neurological/orthopedic conditions
Common Uses:
- Spinal Orthosis: For scoliosis, post-spinal surgery
- Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (KAFO): Post-polio/paralysis support
- Wrist-Hand Orthosis: Carpal tunnel/arthritis relief
2. Prosthetics: Restoring Function & Confidence
What are Prosthetic Limbs?
Custom artificial limbs designed to:
→ Replace lost arms/legs (amputations)
→ Restore natural movement patterns
→ Cosmetic enhancement
Types We Offer:
- Lower Limb Prosthetics: For foot/leg amputees
- Upper Limb Prosthetics: Myoelectric/hook arms
- Cosmetic Prosthetics: Nose/ear/finger replacements
3. S.T.E.P.P. Test (Stride Test Evaluation for Plantar Pressure)
What it Detects:
- Flat feet severity
- Abnormal gait patterns
- Pressure ulcers risk
Benefits:
✓ Maps foot pressure in real-time
✓ Guides orthotic shoe design
✓ Prevents long-term joint damage

FAQs : Your Questions Answered
Q1: "How do I know if I need orthotics?"
A: If you experience:

A: Modern prosthetics use:
- Lightweight materials (carbon fiber, silicone)
- AI-assisted joints for natural movement
- Custom sockets to prevent skin irritation
*Most users adapt within 3-6 months.*
Q3: "Who needs the S.T.E.P.P. test?"
A: Ideal for:
- Children with flat feet
- Diabetics (prevent foot ulcers)
- Athletes with recurrent injuries
Takes 20 mins – no needles or radiation!
Q4: "Can orthotics cure flat feet?"
A: While they can’t “cure,” they:
✔ Reduce pain by 70%
✔ Prevent arthritis progression
✔ Improve walking efficiency
*Early intervention (age 5-12) shows best results.*
Q5: "What’s the lifespan of prosthetic limbs?"
- Activity level (athletes may need replacements sooner)
- Weight fluctuations
- Technological upgrades
Free adjustments included for 1 year.
