Prosthetic Services

At A Step Ahead, we believe in a collaborative approach to treatment. Our patient care strategies therefore have two components:  (1) you teach us about your expectations and goals, and (2) we teach you about prosthetic-related issues and services.

When first working with you, we perform a detailed intake interview so that we can design a prosthesis that meets your individual needs. We then explain why we think a particular prosthetic component or socket design will benefit you. We encourage you to ask questions about your prosthetic limb’s design, fit, and alignment. We also provide you with written materials to assist you with caring for your prosthesis in your everyday life outside of our facility. 

Our primary focus when delivering a prosthetic limb to you is achieving the proper fit. The most cutting edge component is of little use to you if you cannot wear the prosthesis comfortably. We understand that your success is dependent upon your ability to use the prosthesis all day without pain and discomfort.

At A Step Ahead, your prosthetist personally custom designs your prosthesis, oversees your training with it, and coordinates your rehabilitation with doctors, physical therapists, and other medical professionals. This interdisciplinary approach highlights our commitment to giving you all the resources necessary to achieve your functional goals. Our prosthetists work closely in-house with Mobility Physical Therapy to insure that all of your rehabilitation needs are met.

We do not send out any of our prosthetic work to central fabrication facilities.  By keeping everything on site, we are able to maintain the highest quality control standards. We work closely with prosthetic manufacturers, collaborating with them to test and develop products. Our relationships with these companies permit us to provide you with the best and newest prosthetic technologies first.  Click here to see some of these technologies.
