prosthetists

Prosthetists are healthcare professionals who design, create, fit, and maintain artificial limbs, called prostheses, for people who have lost a limb or part of a limb due to injury, disease, or congenital conditions. They assess patients’ needs, measure residual limbs, and customize prosthetic devices to ensure proper function, comfort, and aesthetics. Prosthetists work closely with patients to help regain mobility and improve quality of life, combining technical skills with clinical expertise. Their role involves not only crafting devices but also providing ongoing support, adjustments, and education to optimize the use of the prosthesis.
