At MPOW, we specialize in the design and fabrication of custom orthoses and prostheses to meet the unique needs of each client. Our skilled team uses advanced technology and high-quality materials to create devices that enhance mobility, improve functionality, and provide comfort.
Orthoses: These are externally applied devices designed to modify the structural and functional characteristics of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems. Orthoses can support weak limbs, correct deformities, and improve overall movement.
Prostheses: These are artificial devices that replace missing body parts. Our prosthetic solutions are tailored to help individuals regain their independence and improve their quality of life by restoring the function and appearance of the missing limb.
Each device is meticulously crafted to ensure a perfect fit and optimal performance, allowing our clients to lead more active and fulfilling lives
Understanding Orthoses and Prostheses:
1. Orthoses: Orthoses are externally applied devices designed to support, align, or correct musculoskeletal abnormalities. They are custom-made to fit the unique anatomy and functional requirements of each individual. Orthotists work closely with physicians, physical therapists, and patients to design orthoses tailored to specific needs. Common types include:
- Braces: Used to support and stabilize joints, such as knee braces or ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs).
- Splints: Designed to immobilize or restrict movement, often used in post-injury rehabilitation.
- Foot Orthotics: Inserts placed inside shoes to correct foot alignment and provide support.
2. Prostheses: Prostheses are artificial devices that replace missing body parts, such as limbs or joints. They aim to restore function, mobility, and cosmesis, enabling individuals to perform daily activities and participate in society. Prosthetists collaborate with healthcare professionals and amputees to create prosthetic solutions that are comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing. Common types include:
- Upper Limb Prostheses: Designed to replace all or part of the arm, including hands and fingers.
- Lower Limb Prostheses: Customized to replace missing parts of the leg, such as feet, ankles, or entire legs.
- Joint Prostheses: Artificial joints, like hip or knee replacements, to restore mobility and alleviate pain.
