Artificial Limbs for Lower Extremity
- Ideal Artificial limbs Solution (I.A.S) specializes in the fitting of lower extremity prosthetic devices. Statistically these are the most common types of prostheses required by persons with limb amputations. We are committed to working closely with our clients to produce devices that are comfortable, functional, appropriate for their needs and cosmetically attractive. The following is an overview of some of…

Complete Prosthetic Feet
- Prosthetic foot design and construction has progressed tremendously in the past few decades and now commonly incorporates carbon fiber structures to reduce weight and improve energy return. Some feet have terrain adapting and shock absorbing features, while others are more suitable for special purposes such as swimming. Most high-end feet can be ‘tuned’ to suit each individual by adjusting or…

Orthotics
- What is FES? FES is a technique which produces contractions in muscles by the application of small pulses of electrical stimulation to nerves that supply the muscle. Ideal Artificial Limbs Solutions are clinical partners with Bioness. The Bioness L300 Go and L100 can be used above the knee to stimulate the quadriceps or hamstrings or below the knee to lift…

Partial Foot Prosthetics
- Partial foot amputations are fit with prosthetic devices ranging from simple toe-fillers in shoes for toe amputations, to custom-molded silicone prosthetics that incorporate contoured arch supports and carbon fiber keels. A comfortable fit, control of weight-bearing forces and adaptation to the needs of each individual are the most important features of this type of prosthesis. In some instances it may…

Prosthetic Interface Materials
- A prosthetic interface is that material located closest to the wearer’s skin, whether it be the traditional fine nylon sheaths and stump socks or the newer urethane, polymer gel and silicone liners with or without integral suspension pins. At I.A.S we strive to match each individual with the most appropriate interface and prosthetic suspension system. Each type of system requires…

Prosthetic Knees for Artificial Limbs
- Like prosthetic feet, the type of prosthetic knee selected for each individual is determined based on their intended activity level and the type of terrain that they will be traversing. These knee units can be similarly grouped into categories associated with the four main Impact Levels. Children, Youth and Adults have access to many of the same classifications of knee…

Prosthetic Socket Design and Suspension
- I.A.S provides state-of-the-art prosthetic socket design and components. Comfort begins with a properly designed socket. We use careful hand-casting techniques and build prostheses that both support weight bearing and relieve pressure regions. We use flexible inner socket liners to allow the limb musculature to expand and contract throughout the gait cycle. In our above-knee prosthetic designs this flexible liner is…

Shock Absorbers and Rotators
- Rotators, with or without accompanying shock absorbers, are good additions to most lower extremity prosthetic devices. While they do add weight to a prosthesis, they reduce torsional stress on tissue. A rotation unit is definitely an asset to playing golf, and some units can be ‘tuned’ to suit the preferences of each individual.
