Lower Extremity Prosthetics

Lower extremity prosthetics and orthotics are critical for addressing various conditions affecting the knee, ankle, and foot. These devices are designed to provide stability and improve gait for individuals with conditions such as abnormal knee varus or valgus, excessive genu recurvatum, and hypertonicity.
