Prosthesis are custom fabricated high definition
silicone cosmesis are now available with us. We now offers custom
fabricated cosmetic fingers / partial hand prosthesis as well as
lower limbs. Upper and or Lower limb amputations are carried out for a variety of reasons, including vascular disorders, consequences of injury, malignant tumours, infections, congenital deformities and accidents. However, the vast majority (80 percent) can be attributed to circulatory disorders of the arteries. Accompanying conditions such as diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure, and such factors as nicotine abuse, overweight and age also play a role. Our medi prosthetic modular components help give patients back as much mobility as possible and increase their quality of life. Artificial Limbs and prosthesis products are professionally
designed according to the requirements of patients. For the first
time our products are available directly with in the reach of the
patients. We have appliance to suit the need for every common injury
and disease of musculo-skeletal system. We are specialized in spinal
brace during the last two years. We have fitted more than hundreds
halos. Our products are reasonable cost effective and well designed.
After along R&D we have developed a new design of Halo Vest & Halo
Pelvic apparatuses.
About Rehabilitation:
Many people who undergo amputation are initially concerned with
the physical and emotional trauma of the surgery and the
attendant flurry of medical procedures. Concerns about pain,
recovery and adjustment rapidly give way to practical questions
about how to get around at home, how to get back to work, how
does a prosthetic limb really function and indeed what does it
look like.
About the Clinic:
The members of the rehabilitation team are professionals in their
specific area and patient will find that they are happy to
answer questions regarding your treatment and to provide patient
with information including details of support groups and special
interest topics. A valuable part of the rehabilitation process
is the interaction with other amputees and their families. The
firsthand experiences of established amputees can provide not
only understanding and support, but a wealth of tips on living
with your prosthesis. This is also a good time for your family
or carer to talk through some of the issues of concern to them.
About the role of Doctor: Patient will be assessed first by a doctor, specialised in rehabilitation, who will note details of patient medical history, current medical needs and impairment status: i.e. position of amputation and condition of the stump (residual limb). The doctor will also be interested in patient lifestyle and expectations so that the choice of prosthetic treatment and rehabilitation can be assessed accordingly.
About role of Prosthetist :
The prosthetist is trained in the design, fabrication and fitting
of artificial limbs (prostheses). He/she will be interested in
the condition of patient stump, patient general fitness and
patient prosthetic requirements so that preparation of patient
first prosthesis can begin. The working relationship and
communication between patient and patient prosthetist is
important as patient will be involved with them on a long term
basis for prosthetic care and maintenance, necessary adjustments
and future prostheses as required.
About role of Physiotherapist:
The physiotherapist will co-ordinate patient early limb
care and mobility programme and will teach patient how to walk
on his/her new prosthesis (gait training). Patient will most
probably have started treatment with a physiotherapist very soon
after surgery when patient will have been instructed in suitable
joint and body positioning so as to maintain good range of limb
movement.
About role of Occupational
Therapist: The role of the occupational
therapist is to ensure that patient is suitably prepared for
back home and, if applicable, work environment. This may entail
visits to patient home for assessment purposes as patient may
need some additional equipment to assist him/her with mobility
and safety around the house. If this is not possible especially
in foreign patient cases then it is better to bring video
footage of home environment or pics. of interior and exteriors
of various rooms of patient home. If patient will be using
an upper limb prosthesis then the occupational therapist will
train patient in efficient use of the prosthesis.
About role of Nurse:
The nurse will check patient personal details including blood
pressure and weight and will ensure that any limb dressings
patient may be using are satisfactory. If patient have a medical
condition which requires regular treatment such as diabetes,
then be sure to tell the nurse so that treatment is not
forgotten whilst at the clinic.
A word about our Prosthetic Programme
Walking: Gait is the
term used to describe the process of walking. It comprises two
basic phases:
Stance Phase -
The period from heel strike to mid stance and through to toe off,
when the body weight is supported on the leg. In stance phase
the prosthesis will be expected to support the entire body
weight and if one is walking quickly, momentum will increase
these forces to well above body weight. As an example if the
user weighs 65 kg. (~143 lb) then, as the speed of walking and
therefore momentum increases, the weight going through the
prosthesis could be as much as 104 kg. (~229 lb).
The components which make up a prosthesis must be strong enough to
withstand the frequent application of very high loads which one
would expect to occur in normal walking, and yet have the
ability to cushion impact so as to reduce jarring.
Component weight is an important factor in the design of a
prosthesis since the use of lighter components will normally
require less energy expenditure for mobility. Modern prosthetic
components take advantage of a number of materials developed for
the space industry such as: carbon fiber, which has a high
strength to weight ratio, and polymers, which can be manipulated
to give a variety of properties from cushioning to flexibility
in structures.
Where possible, components which go into building a prosthesis
will be designed to function without expending excess user
energy and to return energy when required, such as an element of
push off as the prosthetic toe leaves the ground.
To maintain the knee joint in a stable position during weight
bearing, prostheses for trans-femoral level and higher may
contain a braking device which provides some stabilization to
prevent the knee flexing whilst body weight is being supported
during early stance. These units are weight activated and will
allow the knee to bend when the weight is off the limb.
Swing Phase -
The period from toe-off, when the knee flexes to allow the foot to
clear the ground and accelerate forward, to when the heel
strikes the ground for the next step. The muscles that mobilise
the knee normally assist this function. The time for the swing
phase should ideally speed up as walking speed increases
otherwise the limb swings in slow arcs like a pendulum and
results in an uneven cadence. Prosthetic knee units often
contain a device which controls the swing phase period so that
the prosthesis will respond to different walking or running
speeds. These units may be electronically controlled pneumatic
or hydraulic devices that are programmed optimally for each
individual.
Reconstructing
the human faces by Tissue - Integrated Prosthesis are also handled
by us. Case 2 The new medipro® DynaWalk feet
are suitable for users with low walking speeds and a higher need for
safety as well as those with higher levels of mobility depending on
the version. Under Orthotic
Foot care wide range of products we have are: Higher stability, lower weight and elastic
return force – due to the design – allow leg amputees to save energy
when walking and offer a virtually physiological gait. As there are
no screw connections in the forefoot lever, no irritating noises are
produced when walking and there is no “neutral point” on roll-off.
The continuous spring action without any mechanical interruption
eases transition from the stance to the swing phase and makes the
gait more dynamic and rhythmic as well as stronger and safer. Features such as the rounded toe front and the continuously segmented construction provide more physiological and smoother roll-off properties, better mobility and therefore safer walking – even on uneven ground. The proximal pyramid adapter on the foot makes it easier for the orthopaedic technician to adjust the prosthesis, so simplifying optimum adaptation to each user's needs. Many user's wish to be able to wear shoes with different heel heights after leg amputation. The medipro®flex E foot allows this uncomplicated adjustment. Simply by releasing a metal button the foot can be adjusted to a heel height of 0-5 cm. There is no longer much of a problem with any of the season's fashions from going barefoot to wearing high-leg shoes - even without changing the static structure of the prosthesis. Under Upper
Prosthetic we have wide range of silicon with matching body color
products: An example of a knee joint that ensures a high
level of safety, developed specifically for wearers with this
requirement, is the medipro® OFM2 Safety knee Joint. The medipro® OH6, for example, is used for those with a weight of up to 136 kg and tolerates increased loading due to the high functional requirement. medipro®
Hip joint Under Lower Prosthetic we have wide
range of products: The soft, skin-coloured medipro®
cosmetic stockings, made in tough quality micro-fibre with a
silicone top band for a secure hold, provide the finishing touch.
In selected cases two consultations are necessary :
The duration of each consultation and the time necessary between the two consultations depends on the type of prosthesis and the complexity of the case. |
