Lower-limb prosthesis designed to support walking and promote independence
A custom articulated transfemoral prosthesis is intended for people who have undergone an amputation above the knee. It is designed to support standing, assist movement and encourage a gradual return to walking according to each person’s abilities and needs.
A transfemoral prosthesis is a prosthetic solution designed to replace part of the lower limb following an amputation above the knee.
It is custom-made to suit the user’s body shape, mobility, activity level and personal goals. Its design aims to provide appropriate support, accompany lower-limb movement and improve stability while walking.
The choice of prosthesis depends on several factors, including the condition of the residual limb, balance, muscle strength, living environment and the activities the person wishes to resume.
At OrthoGreen Mobility, a bandagist and orthopaedic centre in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Brussels, we assist you throughout the design, fitting, adjustment and follow-up of your lower-limb prosthesis.
