Your prosthetist will make sure that your prosthesis fits well and that you feel comfortable putting it on and taking it off. Regular follow-up appointments are important to check the fit and function of your prosthesis along with your ongoing rehabilitation goals. Please follow all instructions from your doctor, prosthetist, and therapist as each person’s prosthetic system is unique.

If at any point you have specific questions about your treatment plan or the fit of your prosthesis, please contact your Hanger Clinic prosthetist.
