Get Back to Doing What You Love

Freedom Regained

Designed for You

Your prosthetic care should feel personal. It’s important for your clinician to understand what you want to do. Together, you can tailor your prosthesis to support your movement, comfort, goals, and independence. At Limb Lab, we strive to find you the device and technology that most fit with your lifestyle, goals, and needs.

Transtibial Prosthesis

At Limb Lab, we combine knowledge of the latest technology with an artistic philosophy: you are unique, your needs are one-of-a-kind, and your life and what you plan to do with it is a work of art! 

A transtibial prosthesis, also known as is a below-the-knee (BK) prosthesis, is a custom-made device for individuals with a limb loss or limb difference between their knee and ankle joint.

A transtibial prosthesis includes:

  • Custom socket fitting around the residual limb
  • Suspension system securing the device to the limb
  • Pylon acting as structural support of the prosthesis
  • Prosthetic foot providing balance and shock absorption

Your practitioner will help you determine the right style and fit so you can move easier and be more comfortable in your daily life.

Benefits

How Can a Transtibial Prosthesis Benefit You?

  • Move easier with better strength and range of motion in small spaces, on ramps, and on terrains such as grass, rocks, or woodland.
  • Reduce muscle strain by promoting even development on both sides of your body, helping to lower overall stress and fatigue.
  • Return to hobbies that require standing, stability, or traversing uneven terrain.

The Right Fit

What to Consider when Thinking about Your Needs:

Discuss with your clinician:

  • Lifestyle and environment: What activities and hobbies are important to you?
  • Physical demands: In a typical day, do you sit for long periods of time, walk or run, or even perform strenuous activities?
  • Appearance: Do you want a natural look or custom lamination design?
