Below Knee Leg Prosthesis in Jacksonville, NC

Jacksonville Below Knee Leg ProsthesisA below knee (transtibial) prosthesis replaces the portion of the leg below the knee, and getting the socket fit and alignment right is what actually determines comfort and function day to day. Evergreen Prosthetics & Orthotics provides custom below knee prosthetic care for Jacksonville, NC patients.

Why Socket Fit Is the Foundation of a Good Device

The socket, the part of the device that contacts the residual limb, needs to distribute pressure evenly and accommodate volume changes throughout the day — getting this wrong is the most common source of discomfort with a below knee prosthesis.

What’s Involved in Below Knee Prosthetic Care

  • Detailed measurement and socket design

Supporting Comfort Through Volume Changes
