Western Reserve offers advanced lower extremity prosthetics, including custom-fitted prosthetic legs and feet, designed to restore mobility and independence for individuals with limb loss or impairment.
We specialize in providing advanced lower extremity prosthetic solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Serving communities in Youngstown, Ohio, and Weirton, West Virginia, our goal is to help individuals regain mobility, independence, and quality of life after lower limb loss.
Used for amputations below the knee, these devices are designed to restore mobility and are custom-fitted for comfort and stability. Common components include a socket, pylon, and foot, which can be adapted for activity levels ranging from everyday walking to running.
These prosthetics include an artificial knee joint in addition to the socket, pylon, and foot. Advanced knee joints may be mechanical or microprocessor-controlled, offering a more natural gait and better control on uneven terrain or stairs.
Used when only part of the foot is amputated. These devices replace the missing portion of the foot and may be combined with custom orthotics to help maintain balance and foot function.
Designed for amputations at or above the hip, these more complex systems are engineered to provide stability and mobility and may incorporate sophisticated joint systems to mimic natural movement as closely as possible.
Severe injuries resulting in the loss of a limb may require a prosthetic device to restore function and mobility.
Conditions such as peripheral artery disease can lead to amputation due to poor circulation, making prosthetics essential for mobility.
Limb loss due to cancer may require a prosthetic to help restore the ability to perform daily activities.
Individuals born with limb deficiencies may use prosthetics from an early age to enhance mobility and quality of life.
The K-level system is used to assess mobility and functional capabilities. K-levels range from K0 to K4, with each level representing a different level of activity and potential for mobility.
Individuals do not have the ability to walk or transfer independently, and a prosthesis would not enhance mobility or quality of life.
Basic mobility on level surfaces at a fixed cadence, often for daily movement within the home.
Ability to navigate low-level environmental barriers such as uneven surfaces or stairs at a slower speed.
Ability to walk at variable speeds and handle most environmental barriers, often requiring more advanced prosthetic technology.
Highly active individuals who participate in activities beyond basic walking, including running or sports.
Each prosthetic device is custom-made to fit the patient’s anatomy and lifestyle, with continued fitting adjustments and rehabilitation guidance.
At Western Reserve, we focus on personalized care, ensuring that each prosthetic device is custom-made to fit the patient’s anatomy and lifestyle.
Our certified prosthetists work closely with patients to provide ongoing support, including fitting adjustments and rehabilitation guidance, with the goal of optimizing comfort, functionality, and overall quality of life.
