Services
Prosthetics
We design and fabricate custom prosthetic devices tailored to individual amputees' goals, utilizing advanced components like microprocessor-controlled knees and myoelectric technology. Our process includes comprehensive assessments to ensure optimal functionality and comfort. Patients receive ongoing support through multiple fittings and follow-up care to adapt to their new devices.
Orthotics
Custom orthotic devices are created following detailed evaluations, including dynamic shape capture and biomechanical analysis. We specialize in both custom and off-the-shelf solutions for lower limb conditions, ensuring improved mobility and alignment. Our on-site lab allows for rapid prototyping and adjustments to meet patient needs.
Foot Orthotics
Individually assessed foot orthotics address pathological conditions and biomechanical imbalances. Using advanced scanning and modeling techniques, we create devices that enhance foot function and alleviate discomfort. While not covered by ADP, we assist with private insurance claims to reduce patient costs.
3D Printing
Our 3D printing capabilities enable precise, customized orthotic and prosthetic devices using digital workflows. Collaborations with specialized facilities ensure high-quality outputs, from cranial helmets for plagiocephaly to complex prosthetic components. This technology reduces production time and enhances patient-specific accuracy.
Plagiocephaly Helmets
We provide plagiocephaly helmets designed through 3D scanning and software modeling to correct infant cranial deformities. Helmets are fabricated using CAD-guided foam or 3D printing, offering families flexible options. The process ensures gentle, effective reshaping with minimal discomfort for infants.
Questions
What funding sources cover prosthetic and orthotic devices?
Devices may be covered by the Assistive Devices Program (ADP), WSIB, Veterans Affairs, private insurance, or Ontario Disability. ADP covers up to 75% of costs for eligible patients.
Do I need a physician's prescription for orthotics or prosthetics?
Yes, a prescription from a physician, nurse practitioner, or specialist is required. For prosthetics, an ADP-authorized amputee clinic visit is also needed.
How long does it take to receive a custom device?
After casting and measurements, devices are typically ready within two weeks. Prosthetics may require multiple fittings, extending the timeline to ensure proper fit and function.
Are follow-up appointments included after receiving a device?
Yes, follow-up care is provided to ensure comfort and functionality. Adjustments can be made if issues arise, with initial follow-ups scheduled two weeks post-fitting.
Does Sudbury P&O Design serve remote areas?
Yes, we offer biweekly services in Sault-Ste-Marie and expedite fittings for patients traveling long distances to minimize travel time.
Do you provide pediatric prosthetics and orthotics?
Yes, our team has experience treating children, including plagiocephaly helmets and custom orthotics, with a kid-friendly clinic environment.
