Partial feet prostheses

Partial feet provide great functional and cosmetic solutions within one device. Each unique partial foot can encompass a combination of materials with specific properties to aid comfort and mobility. Matched to the patient’s shape and skin tone they offer a highly natural looking, wearable solution for partial foot amputees.

Making accessible to Irish patients the highest standard cosmetic prostheses available internationally.

Our specialist team will utilise specific casting procedures and the properties of a selection of materials to develop your prosthesis. Soft silicone gel pads can be used to relieve pressure in sensitive areas, while medical grade silicones protect vulnerable skin.

The Charcot Restraint Orthotic Walker (CROW) is a type of custom made orthosis that is designed to reduce pressure on the foot and the ankle for people who have a neuropathic ulcer and/or a Charcot Joint.The CROW is made from a cast of the foot and lower leg and is designed with a soft footbed and cushioned liner. The Orthosis is made of rigid plastic with a rockered bottom to allow for normal heel to toe walking.

The CROW works to reduce destructive forces in the foot and ankle, protecting the bone at the same time as reducing pressure on the bottom of the foot to help heel and prevent ulcers.

Neuropathic joints, often called Charcot joints, are caused by loss of sensation in the joint so that it is severely damaged and disrupted

The Charcot foot is triggered by a combination of mechanical, vascular and biological factors which can lead to late diagnosis and incorrect
treatment and eventually to destruction of the foot.

Autistic / sensory seeking toe walkers have been found to benefit from the use of Neurological foot orthoses. Benifiting from the sensory feedback of the orthosIs design, patents are less likely to toe walk.

APOS have introduced their NEURO foot orthosis for this patient group. This orthotic intervention is considerably less invasive than alternatives such as casting,Orthopaedic footwear or Ankle Foot Orthoses.
