Process Summary to Provide a Prostheses

1. Identification of Patients

Local partners refer potential patients to us for assessment.

2. Assessment and 3D Scan

The patient is interviewed and physically examined by our prosthetist to see if they are a good candidate for a prosthesis. Then the measurements are taken of the patient’s residual limb, along with a 3D scan for a proper fit.

3. Production

The residual limb scan is sent to the cloud where our 3D technician accesses it to design and 3D print a custom-made socket. The socket is then combined with the other components by our prosthetist.

4. Fitting

The patient is fitted with the custom-made 3D-printed prosthesis, and necessary adjustments are made.

5. Physical Therapy

The patient undergoes more physical therapy to develop the strength and skills necessary to function with their prosthesis.

6. Psychosocial

Counseling is organized with local partners all throughout the journey to help the patient face the challenges and adjust to their new life with a new limb.

7. Maintenance

Maintenance is provided for 3D-printed replacement sockets and other parts.

8. Follow-Up Visits

Our 3DP4ME Impact Team makes follow-up home visits to listen and collect stories while checking on maintenance needs.

*Physical Therapy & Surgeries

As a kid grows their residual limb grows too. They might have to undergo a surgery, to heal and strengthen their body for a new limb.
