Above Knee Prosthetics
-
Above-knee prosthetics are artificial limbs designed to replace a leg amputated above the knee joint. They provide mobility and support to individuals who have lost a portion of their leg due to injury, illness, or congenital conditions, enabling them to regain independence and engage in daily activities such as walking, running, and various forms of exercise. At Comprehensive Prosthetics & Orthotics, our goal is to fit you with the appropriate orthosis so that you have maximum support and comfort. Our expert prosthetists and orthotists will help reduce your pain, provide relief, make you feel comfortable, and will assist you with getting back to activities you love that your ailments or injuries were holding you back from enjoying.

Above Knee Prosthetics Solutions
There are several types of above-knee prosthetics, each serving a specific function to support individuals in different ways. Liners and Cast/Scans are crucial components used to create custom-fitted sockets, providing comfort and stability while minimizing friction and pressure on the residual limb. Diagnostic Sockets allow for adjustments and modifications before the final socket is fabricated, ensuring an optimal fit and function. The Laminated or Final socket is the end product of the casting process, manufactured to precisely fit the amputee's residual limb, providing the necessary support and comfort for daily activities. Prosthetic knees, on the other hand, are specialized components that mimic the natural knee joint, offering stability, control, and adaptability to different terrains and activities, enabling users to walk, run, and navigate various environments with ease. These diverse components collectively contribute to the comprehensive functionality and usability of above-knee prosthetics, enhancing the overall quality of life for amputees.
