With so many incredible ads and articles about the latest prosthetic technologies, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. How do you know which option is right for you? These are crucial questions with no simple answers.
The good news is that there are many options available. However, the reality is that not every technology may be suitable for you. This is where your prosthetist plays a vital role. It’s essential to trust their expertise and guidance throughout this process.
Ultimately, choosing the right prosthetic technology is something you need to experience firsthand. Many manufacturers offer trial periods for their products, allowing you to "feel" how a foot or ankle functions. Do you actually like the sensation of torsion, or does it affect your balance? Is a running foot truly what you need, or would a sport foot be a better fit? Different knees also have distinct characteristics, and while we can explain the technology behind them, it’s important that it works with your natural intuition.
At PSI, we’re committed to ongoing education for both our team and our patients. We want to provide you with opportunities, such as our upcoming "Cascade Knee and Foot Trial Day" and our Ottobock Day, to test these technologies in real-world settings. We’re here to help you walk confidently and move through life with ease.
