We fit all levels of amputations for both children and adults, including myoelectric devices. Canadian-certified prosthetists fabricate and fit each custom device to the highest of standards, using up-to-date component technology and materials. We also service and repair prosthetic devices and components. Our facility offers a full selection of socks, sheaths, shrinker socks and suspension sleeves.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Services<\/h2>\n<p>Amputees of all ages and all levels are eligible for TOHRC\u2019s prosthetic. Patients treated at TOHRC have lost a limb due to circulation problems, complications related to diabetes, trauma, (including work-related injuries), congenital limb loss and cancer.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of prosthetic devices may be covered by the Assistive Devices Program (ADP), the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP), the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), Non-Insured Health Benefits Program (NIHBP) and private insurance companies. It is the responsibility of the patient to determine if their insurance plan will provide coverage for prosthetic devices. A doctor&#8217;s prescription is required for most services.<\/p>\n<p>Fitting someone with a prosthetic limb can improve their quality of life. A properly fitted prosthesis can restore the ability to walk, grasp and manipulate objects, the ability to return to work and recreational activities, a better body image and improve self-esteem, resulting in greater independence. By providing repairs, maintenance and fitting adjustments of prosthetic devices, often done in-house on the same day, amputees can quickly return to their daily activities with increased function and comfort.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright img-responsive\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Prosthetics3.jpg\" alt=\"Prosthetics\" width=\"230\" height=\"314\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-7\">\n<h2>Our Team<\/h2>\n<p>Patients with amputations are seen in clinic by the prosthetic team, which includes the medical specialist, as well as members from nursing, prosthetics, physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
