Prosthetic devices are externally applied devices used to replace an absent or deficient body part.
At Nascott Orthotics & Prosthetics we offer a wide range of options for everyone in need of a prosthetic device.
A prosthetist is a patient-care practitioner involved in the science and art of prosthetics; one who designs, builds and fits artificial limbs.
Nascott prosthetists work with patients to get them back to their activities of daily living.
Our practitioners:
- Assist physicians in formulating prescriptions, examining and evaluating the patient's needs.
- Design, select materials and components, and build prostheses.
- Make all necessary casts, measurements, model modifications and layouts.
- Perform fittings, alignments and adjustments.
- Evaluate the prosthesis on the patient and instruct the patient in its use
