What/ Who is a Prosthetist?
A prosthetist is a healthcare professional who makes and fits artificial limbs (prostheses) for people with disabilities. This includes artificial legs and arms for people who have had amputations due to conditions such as cancer, diabetes, or injury.
What is Considered a Prosthetic Device?
Artificial limbs, also known as prostheses, are defined as devices that are used to replace a missing body part or member. They are a vital part of the rehabilitation process following an amputation and help restore mobility to patients, leading to better patient outcomes and less co-morbidities.
