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.
