Limb Loss & Impairment
Amputation or limb impairment can affect ability, but doesn’t have to affect the quality of your life. We meet patients’ unique needs by integrating medical expertise, technology, engineering (prosthetics, orthotics, bionics, robotic devices) and a range of therapies.
How We Can Help
You want to recover what’s most important in your life. We challenge ourselves to innovate ways to make that possible.
