We provide care for every level of lower extremity amputation including hip-disarticulation, hemipelvectomy, above-knee, knee-disarticulation, below-knee, and partial foot amputees. Lower extremity prostheses customized to meet the patient’s needs. Numerous factors such as a patient’s age, weight, activity level, residual limb size, and shape, as well as their diagnosis and prognosis, help our practitioners choose the most appropriate componentry for our patients.

The socket design is the most important part of the prosthesis. This is where the prosthesis interacts with the patient’s remaining limb. The socket must fit properly to ensure the best possible outcome. Our practitioners go to great lengths to make sure our patients are comfortable in the prosthesis. Lawall prides itself on staying current in our ever-changing industry. Our practitioners routinely get certified in the new componentry developed by our manufacturers.
