Lower Limb Prosthetics
Personalised prosthetic solutions for every level of lower limb amputation, in Melbourne and Sydney.
Every prosthesis is individually designed around your residual limb, mobility, lifestyle and goals.
Whether you want to walk comfortably throughout the day, return to work, spend more time outdoors or get back to sport, we'll work with you to find a prosthetic solution that suits the way you live.
Amputation Levels We Work With
We provide personalised prosthetic solutions for all levels of lower limb amputation, from partial foot amputations through to hip disarticulation. We work with people with:
Partial foot amputations, including transmetatarsal, Lisfranc, Syme's and Boyd
Transtibial (below-knee) amputation
Knee disarticulation
Transfemoral (above-knee) amputation
Hip disarticulation
Prosthetic Feet
The right prosthetic foot can make a significant difference to comfort, stability and mobility.
There is no single foot that is right for everyone. We consider your walking pattern, activity level, environment, footwear and goals when selecting the most appropriate components for you.
From comfortable everyday walking to hiking, running and sport, we'll help you explore the options and select a foot that matches how you want to move.
-
Designed to store and return energy during walking, helping create a smoother and more efficient gait.
-
Allow movement in multiple directions, helping the foot adapt to uneven surfaces and changing environments.
-
Lightweight and responsive, with energy return suited to a range of activity levels.
-
Designed to optimise energy transfer and provide responsive support, particularly for more active users.
-
For situations where build height is limited, including some partial foot and Syme's prostheses
-
Specialised solutions for the beach, swimming, water-based activities or specific recreational pursuits.
Prosthetic Knees
For people with a transfemoral amputation, the prosthetic knee plays an important role in stability, safety, comfort and walking efficiency.
We look beyond simply selecting a knee. We consider your strength, mobility, walking environment, activity level and goals to determine which technology is most appropriate for you.
We'll take the time to understand what you need your prosthesis to do and help you choose the knee technology that's right for you.
Microprocessor-Controlled Knees
Microprocessor-controlled knees use sensors and computer-controlled resistance to respond continuously to your movement. Depending on the individual, they may assist with:
Improving stability and confidence
Reducing the risk of trips and falls
Managing slopes, stairs and uneven surfaces
Adapting to changes in walking speed
Improving walking efficiency and symmetry
Making everyday movement feel smoother and more natural
Mechanical, Hydraulic & Pneumatic Knees
Microprocessor technology isn't necessary for everyone. Mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic knees can provide reliable and effective solutions for many people, depending on their individual needs and goals.
Your socket is one of the most important parts of your prosthesis. A well-designed, well-fitting socket provides a secure connection between your residual limb and prosthesis while helping minimise unwanted movement, pressure and friction.
We carefully consider your residual limb, volume changes, activity level, comfort and suspension requirements when designing your socket.
Comfort starts with the socket
Is it time for a socket review?
If your socket is uncomfortable, you're constantly adjusting socks, you're experiencing skin problems or your prosthesis no longer feels secure, it may be time for a review.
Osseo-integration
For some people, osseointegration can provide an alternative to a traditional socket prosthesis.
Osseointegration involves the surgical placement of an implant that connects directly with the residual limb, allowing the prosthesis to attach without a conventional socket. For appropriately selected individuals, it may provide benefits such as improved comfort, greater freedom of movement and increased awareness of the prosthesis.
We work with people who have osseointegration and provide prosthetic component selection, fitting, adjustments, servicing and ongoing support. Our focus is helping your prosthesis continue to function safely and effectively as your needs change.
