A wide variety of materials are used to create the actual limb, including acrylic resin, carbon fiber, thermoplastics, silicone, aluminum, and titanium. To create a life-like appearance, a foam cover can be applied and shaped to match the real limb. A flexible skin-like covering will be applied over the foam to give it the life-like appearance. This feature, however, is not recognized as a medical necessity by most insurance providers, so the patient becomes financially responsible for the added cost of a “life-like” limb.
After the limb has been created, fitted, and delivered; adjustments over time are generally necessary to ensure proper fit is maintained. In the end, the goal is to create a limb that fits well and facilitates the patient’s lifestyle and targeted level of activity.
Since Prosthetics are meant to help amputees get back to their usual lives and activities of daily living, there are a variety of options. Prosthetics can be custom designed for many types of special uses. For instance, prosthetics for sports are custom built to help patients participate in certain types of sports, such as running or skiing. Prosthetic arms can be equipped with a wide range of accessories to enable a variety of tasks, such as eating with a fork, shooting a cross-bow, playing basketball, holding a pool cue…the options are endless!
