Next Step Prosthetics Wisconsin

At we had the pleasure of working with a family for their child’s first prosthesis. A lot of children are born with a missing limb but it’s important to know that it certainly can lead to a normal life with prosthetic usage. In prosthetics, it is a good thing to start early with a prosthesis to develop proper habits, establish balance, figuring out how to use the device as a tool. In Tatum’s case, he wanted to use it to slam dunk.

From a 3D printed socket, to a carbon laminated lightweight socket it has been a treasure to watch Tatum’s development. We are so happy for Darby and Tatum!

We pride ourselves on assisting any patient that has had any difficulty with their prosthetic or orthotic device. Gregory’s problem with his prosthesis was his socket wasn’t fitting well and had caused him to be uncomfortable walking. Two appointments later he goes from a socket that is painful even in 12 ply socks, down to fitting comfortably with 0 sock ply. Suddenly that pain he had was gone and now able to walk in comfort.

We are very proud of Gregory and his new path to being able to walk without discomfort in his prosthesis. Let’s ditch all those socks! All smiles from him and us! We’re looking forward to designing the final socket. More to come!
