Trialling a Prosthetic Device

 

At the London Prosthetics Centre we understand that being recommended a prosthesis is not the same as trying it for yourself. Often it takes time for an amputee to really understand the benefits of a new limb. For this reason we offer our clients the ability to trial different devices before comitting to them -  such as microprocessor feet, bionic hands and specific activity prostheses. Trials typically last two weeks, giving you the opportunity to use your new limb in your own environment.

This process is often coined as the 'wash out period'. This period helps you acclimatise to the new features of your device, and removes any bias that may have occurred at the initial delivery.
 
In addition to trialling the components for your own subjective opinion, we also offer objective assessments and outcome measures to be taken by a physiotherapist and a prosthetist at the end of the wash out period - highlighting any differences in your performance with your new device.
 
If you would like to learn more about the range of components available for trial for both upper and lower limb amputation, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
