Limb loss is often the result of cancer, vascular disease or trauma, but some people may also be born with limb differences. An average of 507 people in the U.S. will lose a limb every day. In 1945, at the end of World War II, a considerable number of soldiers were returning home with physical disabilities.

In this week’s blog post, we would like to present Timothy’s Case Study, which shows how important the INSIGHT System is in helping patients understand what is happening to their residual limb. One of the central goals of our technology is to facilitate and improve communication between the prosthetist and the patient.

Patricia Figueroa is one of our case studies from our partner clinic Prosthetics & Orthotic Associates, located in Middletown, NY. We frequently conduct and present case studies to test the efficiency of the fitting process and to prove the commercial benefit of INSIGHT for O&P clinics.

Case studies are extremely important in demonstrating the true value of our product. Sharing these experiences allows us to show how INSIGHT can be used as a problem solver for patients, giving them the possibility to see and understand what is going on with their sockets in a totally different way than they have ever seen before. You can access all our case studies here.

Kris is a 65-year-old woman and is employed part-time. She experienced a right transtibial amputation due to a failed knee replacement and has only been using her prosthesis for 3 years.

As you may know, if you are an attentive follower of our website and our social networks, INSIGHT® is an innovative system designed to improve the efficiency of the fitting process to rapidly deliver an ultra-comfortable, uniquely fitted lower-limb prosthesis for the patient.
