2. Evaluation: Our process begins with a comprehensive evaluation involving you, our clinicians and administrative team, therapists and a physician. Together we will set functional goals, expectations, and formulate a plan for success. Residual limb strength, range of motion and sensitivity will be reviewed along with a thorough analysis of gait, alignment, prosthetic function and bi-manual dexterity.
3. Fitting: Upon successful completion of your initial evaluation, the measurement and fitting stage begins. You can expect to experiment with your socket design in a variety of environments assuring comfort, safety and function. Together we will analyze all aspects of this new prosthetic design before it is definitively fabricated. Upon receiving your definitive prosthesis, we begin initial gait training to build a solid foundation for your rehabilitation. We work as a team with your physical therapist to challenge your abilities. Our clinicians are always focused on achieving a comfortable, properly aligned and well fitted prosthesis. Your definitive prosthesis can incorporate either a custom lamination or be cosmetically finished with one of our custom spray skins. All of our fabrication takes place in our state-of-the-art facility so as to maintain the highest level of quality assurance.
4. Continued Care: Upon being fit with a prosthesis from Prosthetic Innovations, LLC your care transitions into the thriving phase and we remain devoted to your continued prosthetic care. We welcome all clients into our Welness Program, A Healthier You. Our program aims at helping our clients become aware of and make choices toward a more positive life. A Healthier You will achieve this by providing events, clinics and workshops focused on the promotion and maintenance of good health rather than the correction and treatment of poor health.

5. Insurance support:  We know that the insurance process can be daunting, and we are committed to working with you through this process.  We begin by identfying your prosthetic coverage under your insurance plan, and generating estimates about what your coverage is and what your financial share could be.  We will coordinate the prescription and authorization process, and bill our insurance company once your prosthesis is delivered.  Once your insurance company has processed your claim, we will assist you by verifying that the claim was processed correctly, and appeal any decisions that were incorrectly decided.  
6. We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, focused on your needs and your goals.  our clinicians work with you, your doctors, and your therapists to set functional goals and formulate a plan for your success.  Our clinicians will evaluate your residual limb strength, your range of motion, and your sensititivity to plan your prosthetic care.  Our clinicians and our administrative team will meet with you to understand your insurance coverage, and plan with you the next steps in your prosthetic care.
7. Once we agree upon your prosthetic plan, the measurement and fitting stage will begin.  Our clinicians will develop a socket custom fit to your residual limb, and work with you to make sure you are confident and comfortable in that fit.   You may have revisions to that fit, as we work to ensure your socket works for you, and you may trial different components during this time.  Once we agree upon the socket fit and the components, your definitive prosthesis will be fabricated.
8. when your definitive prosthesis is finished, our process moves from fit to function to flair. We will work with you and your therapists to help you gain complete functional use of your prosthesis.  We also can incorporate a custom lamination, a cosmetic finish with one of our spray skins, or other decorative finishes to customize your prosthetic limb.
