Next Step’s Approach to Prosthetic Care At Next Step Bionics & Prosthetics, Inc., our clients are our priority.

That is why we take a hands-on approach to prosthetic care, with the best interest of our clients in mind, and we can recommend treatment that caters to the individual. We provide quality prosthetic devices, proper-fitting sockets, and access to emerging bionic and prosthetic technologies to meet our clients’ objectives. We believe that prosthetic care begins with socket design. Without an interface that fits well, the functionality of a prosthesis and the well-being of the client are compromised. Therefore, we develop custom interfaces for any amputation level and type of residual limb. Next Step is notably one of the leading facilities in fitting high-level, above-knee amputees, including those with hip disarticulations and hemi-pelvectomies.

Whether your child has been born with a limb absence or loses a limb through amputation, you, the parent, have to decide what's right for your child. Will they wear a prosthesis from an early age or will you wait until they're older to help make that decision?

There are several considerations to factor in to your child's care plan if you choose to have them fitted with a prosthesis at a young age. Children present different challenges than adults. Because children are continually growing, the size and shape of their residual limb is always changing. It can be costly to keep the child fitted with an appropriate device, but it's important because an ill-fitting device can cause discomfort and injury. Children also tend to be more demanding on their prostheses than adults and so a more rugged prosthesis is often required to keep up with their active play. Fitting a child with a device early can help to get them accustomed to a prosthesis as a routine part of their daily lives.
