You don't need to understand everything on day one.
Receiving your first prosthetic is a personal journey. You may have questions about comfort, walking, technology, appearance, cost, rehabilitation, or how your everyday life may change.
At Relimb, the process begins by understanding you — your physical needs, daily routine, mobility goals, and expectations. From there, we help you understand the prosthetic options that may be appropriate for your individual situation.

Regain confidence and feel empowered every step of the way.
Return to work, school, hobbies, and activities you enjoy.
Improve balance, mobility, and overall quality of life.

Types of Prosthetics
Different needs require different solutions.
The appropriate prosthetic depends on the level of limb difference, physical condition, mobility goals, lifestyle, and individual requirements.
Transtibial Prosthetics
Below Knee
Designed for people with an amputation below the knee. Preserving the natural knee joint can support efficient movement, stability, and a more natural walking pattern.
Transfemoral Prosthetics
Above Knee
Designed for people with an amputation above the knee. The prosthetic system combines a socket, knee component, and prosthetic foot selected according to individual mobility needs.
Arm & Hand Prosthetics
Upper Limb
Upper-limb prosthetic solutions can support everyday activities, appearance, grip, and functional independence depending on the level of limb difference and individual goals.
Choosing Your Prosthetic
The right solution starts with the right questions.
Prosthetic selection is not only about choosing a component. Several factors should be considered together.
Comfort
How the socket fits and feels during everyday use.
Mobility
The activities and level of movement you want to achieve.
Lifestyle
Your work, home environment, hobbies, and daily routine.
Long-term Support
Adjustments and follow-up as your needs change over time.
You Are Not Alone in the Process
Ask questions. Understand your options. Move at your pace.
Choosing your first prosthetic can involve unfamiliar terms, technology, and decisions. Our role is to explain the process clearly so you can make informed choices about your mobility.
Your goals may also change as you gain experience with your prosthetic. Continued assessments and adjustments can help your prosthetic continue to support your needs over time.
