Conditions Treated
Prosthetic solutions for different causes of limb loss
Congenital Limb Differences
Custom prosthetics for individuals born with partial or missing limbs.
Medical Conditions
Prosthetics for amputations related to conditions such as cancer, vascular disease, or severe infections.
Types of Prostheses
Upper extremity options from partial hand to shoulder level
Partial Hand Prosthetics
Designed for individuals with partial hand amputations. Options can include simple functional fingers or more advanced myoelectric fingers that mimic natural movement.
Transradial Prostheses
Body-Powered Prosthetics
Use a harness and cable system to control the prosthesis, offering a durable and functional option.
Myoelectric Prosthetics
Controlled by electrical signals generated by muscles in the remaining limb, providing more natural movement and greater dexterity.
Transhumeral Prostheses
Body-Powered Elbows
Designed to accommodate the more complex movements required by an above-elbow amputation.
Myoelectric Elbows
Use motors to mimic movement of the elbow and hand, providing a wider range of motion.
Shoulder Disarticulation Prostheses
Designed for patients who have lost an arm at the shoulder level. These systems often combine a mechanical shoulder joint with body-powered or myoelectric controls for the elbow and hand.
Specialized Solutions
Prosthetics designed around the way you live
Activity-Specific Prosthetics
For active lifestyles or specific needs, prostheses can be designed for activities such as swimming, cycling, or playing musical instruments.
Hybrid Prosthetics
Combine body-powered and myoelectric systems to balance durability and precision, especially for patients with multiple amputation levels.

From initial consultation through fitting and follow-up care, the Western Reserve team works closely with each patient throughout the entire prosthetic process.
