Artificial Leg Below Knee (Transtibial Amputation)
If your amputation is below the knee (BK), a transtibial prosthesis provides support and replaces the foot and ankle function. These prostheses are typically lighter and can offer excellent mobility. Our specialists work closely with you to design a custom socket that perfectly fits your residual limb, ensuring comfort and preventing skin issues.

Socket Solutions
There's nothing more important than the comfort and fit of your socket. The socket is the direct connection between your residual limb and the prosthesis, making its design crucial for comfort, control, and preventing skin issues. Our experienced prosthetists meticulously evaluate your residual limb, then utilize either advanced 3D scanning or traditional casting techniques to capture its precise shape. This detailed impression allows us to custom-design a socket that provides optimal comfort and control. Whether it's the liner protecting your skin or the accessories that enable you to live life on your terms, Ottobock Care has options and expertise to craft socket solutions that work best for you. We prioritize a secure, comfortable fit that empowers you to move with confidence, and we are skilled in managing changes in your residual limb volume over time.

The Prosthetic Fitting Process
Getting a prosthetic limb is a personalized journey that involves several steps, all centered around your comfort and goals. Please note that your individual experience and the exact number of appointments may vary based on your specific needs and the complexity of your prosthesis.
Initial Consultation & Assessment: We'll discuss your lifestyle, goals, and conduct a thorough examination of your residual limb.
Measurement & Casting: Precise measurements and casting of your residual limb are taken to create a perfectly custom-made socket – the most crucial part for comfort and function.
Test Socket Fitting: You'll try on a temporary "test socket" to ensure the fit is accurate and comfortable before the final prosthesis is made.
Component Selection: Based on your needs and activity level, our certified prosthetists will recommend the most suitable components, including advanced knees, feet, and suspension systems.
Final Fitting & Training: Once your definitive prosthesis is ready, we'll ensure a perfect fit and provide comprehensive gait training to help you learn how to use your new limb effectively and confidently.
