Beaumont Rehabilitation Department's Prosthetic and Orthotic Clinic assists individuals with initiating prosthetic and orthotic evaluations, as well as managing follow-up care. Our team of experts will perform an evaluation to determine your individual needs and then custom design the prosthetic or orthotic to meet your needs.
A prosthetic is an artificial limb, while an orthotic is an orthopedic brace/support.
We work as a multidisciplinary team with you in order to find the best treatment plan to meet your personal goals and improve your everyday functioning.
