Prosthetists
Prosthetists are healthcare professionals who specialize in designing, fitting, and maintaining artificial limbs, known as prostheses. They work closely with patients who have lost limbs due to injury, illness, or congenital conditions, helping them regain mobility and improve their quality of life. Prosthetists use advanced materials and technology to create custom prosthetic devices tailored to each individual's needs.
In addition to technical skills, prosthetists must have strong communication abilities to understand their patients' goals and concerns. They often collaborate with other healthcare providers, such as orthotists, physiotherapists, and surgeons, to ensure comprehensive care and support for their patients' rehabilitation journeys.
