ÖSSUR BALANCE SOLUTIONS
Getting the balance right
For many people with limb-loss, age and poor health can have a significant impact
on mobility and confidence. The use of a prosthetic limb can be challenging in
itself, so feeling secure and comfortable from the outset is vital if the user is to
maintain a level of independence, however small.
ÖSSUR BALANCE SOLUTIONS
Designed to support less active people who may struggle to maintain the ideal
balance of safety, comfort and mobility.
And getting that balance right can mean greater independence, with an increase
in both the frequency and safety of transfers and ambulation.
Those with diabetes and vascular conditions are especially in need of an
appropriate prosthetic solution to help them achieve the right balance. A liner,
for example, needs to protect vulnerable skin, and the socket should be easy to
use and provide secure suspension. A prosthetic knee, if required, should offer
effective stability and support for confident single-speed ambulation, while a foot
module should deliver a level of energy return that is in proportion to the activity
and load.
