Providing personalized, expert care in upper & lower limb prosthetic rehabilitation.
What is the Excelerated Care Program?
This distinctive approach to upper-limb prosthetic patient care is designed to allow Handspring patients to resume their normal lives—returning to work, recreation, and spending time with family—in a much more timely fashion. By condensing each stage of the patient care process while incorporating occupational therapy training, Handspring patients achieve a higher level of proficiency with their devices from the start.
Excellent Care + Accelerated Treatment = Excelerated Patient-Centered Outcomes
Why Did Handspring Create the Excelerated Care Program?
With patients traveling from around the world to work with the Handspring Clinical Team, it was important that we develop a patient protocol that allows us to complete the patient’s treatment process in as short a period as possible—and often within one week—while producing positive patient outcomes. After years of refining this protocol, we have customized our team and our processes so that we can create success for our patients utilizing this program.
A traditional fitting process might look something like this and include multiple intermediate visits for adjustments and training.
The Excelerated Care Program eliminates the need for some of these visits and instead plans for multi-day fittings where we can achieve the same goals with less travel time or the distractions of other appointments.
