When limbs need additional support due to musculoskeletal defects or disease, or are amputated as a result of trauma, gangrene or vascular deterioration, NuHealth’s experienced prosthetics and orthotics specialists are ready. Working closely with Nassau University Medical Center’s Orthopedics and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation departments, they help evaluate and custom-fit patients for artificial limbs and orthopedic braces. Our specialists in prosthetics and orthotics are licensed health professionals who can help patients restore a surprising measure of mobility and functionality following the loss of a limb, as well as fabricate mechanical devices to provide support for weak joints and appendages.
For a consultation with a specialist in prosthetics or orthotics, call (516) 572-6522.
