Prosthetics Designed for You

Over the years, the focus of prosthetics has slipped to making the prosthetic hand design the top priority. As prosthetic technology continues to evolve and develop, it’s easy to see how this perspective developed. However, the answer to care is not to provide the most technically complex, and often the most expensive, prosthetic system that can be found. Rather, the most useful and appropriate systems are chosen based on the planned activities of the patient, whether at school, at work, or at play. This concept is at the center of the Handspring philosophy.

​

The Handspring culture is all about treating each person as an individual and finding the treatment plan that will best help every client to live their own daily lives. Each client goes through a detailed evaluation process that incorporates prosthetic and therapy questions critical to optimizing a patient’s success with their new prosthesis. It’s essential for all of the Handspring team to thoroughly understand a client’s goals, limitations, and capabilities BEFORE the prosthesis is designed and fabricated.

​

Once this level of understanding is achieved, then our team of prosthetists, therapists, and fabrication experts take a holistic approach to the creation of each person’s prosthesis. There is no ‘arm in a box’. There are no pre-configured devices. Instead, our clinical team creates a prosthesis that has been designed, customized, and fabricated for each person’s needs.

The Handspring Patient Care Process has one overriding objective – care for each and every client as an individual.
