Advanced Technologies in Artificial Limbs & Assistive Devices (Prosthetics & Orthotics)

Modern Prosthetics & Orthotics has transformed dramatically with the integration of cutting-edge technologies. These innovations ensure that artificial limbs and assistive devices are lighter, stronger, more functional, and far more comfortable than ever before. At Foot Care Jaipur (Artificial Limb Clinic Since 1998), we adopt globally accepted technologies to deliver personalized, high-performance solutions for every patient.

1. Microprocessor-Controlled Prosthetics (MPC)

These smart prosthetic knees, feet, and hands use sensors and microprocessors to analyse walking patterns, speed, and terrain in real time. This brings:

• Enhanced stability
  
  

• Smoother gait
  
  

• Reduced chances of falls
  
  

• Natural movement on slopes, stairs, and uneven ground
  
  

2. Myoelectric Prosthetic Hands

Myoelectric arms and hands use electrical signals from the user’s muscles to control grip, wrist rotation, and fine hand movements. Benefits include:

• Multiple grip patterns
  
  

• Precise control
  
  

• Improved daily-function performance
  
  

3. Carbon Fiber & Composite Materials

Artificial limbs today are made with ultra-lightweight and extremely strong carbon-fiber composites. These materials offer:

• High durability
  
  

• Shock absorption
  
  

• Energy return for active walking and running
  
  

4. 3D Scanning & CAD–CAM Systems

Digital scanning and CAD–CAM designing allow highly accurate measurements and custom shapes for sockets, insoles, and braces. Advantages:

• Perfect fit
  
  

• Faster fabrication
  
  

• Less trial-and-error during fitting
  
  

5. Silicone & Advanced Polymer Technologies

Soft, flexible, medical-grade silicone is widely used in cosmetic prostheses, liners, and sleeves. They provide:

• Maximum comfort
  
  

• Skin protection
  
  

• Natural appearance
  
  

6. Hydraulic & Pneumatic Systems

High-mobility prosthetic knees and feet often incorporate hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders, allowing:

• Controlled knee flexion
  
  

• Smooth motion
  
  

• Customizable resistance
  
  

7. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)

FES devices help activate weak or paralyzed muscles using controlled electrical signals. Common uses include:

• Foot drop correction
  
  

• Stroke rehabilitation
  
  

• Neuromuscular re-education
  
  

8. Custom Orthotic Technologies

Modern orthotic devices like AFOs, KAFOs, spinal braces and diabetic foot orthoses use:

• Thermoforming materials
  
  

• Carbon fiber reinforcements
  
  

• Computerized gait analysis
  
  

• Pressure mapping systems
  
  

These technologies help correct deformities, improve posture, reduce pain, and enhance overall mobility.

Every prosthesis is Prescribed, designed, Fabricated & Fitted for rapid customization, allowing patients to receive well-fitted solutions. Post Fitment Training being an integral part of Prosthetics Fitment Ensures the patients confidence, comfort and takes care of teething issues if any.

At Foot Care Jaipur, we continuously upgrade our expertise and equipment to bring world-class prosthetic and orthotic technology within reach for patients across India and abroad. Our mission is simple:
To restore mobility, independence, and confidence through advanced rehabilitation solutions.
