Post-Op Follow-Up Schedule That Prevents Prosthetic Delays (For Clinicians)
Many prosthetic delays do not happen because of surgical problems or device limitations. They happen because follow-up after surgery is irregular, reactive, or poorly timed. Small issues that could have been corrected early are missed, allowed to grow, and eventually block prosthetic fitting altogether. For clinicians, the follow-up schedule is not an administrative task. It […]
Trauma Amputees: ICU-to-Prosthesis Optimization Pathways for Doctors
Traumatic amputations place doctors under intense pressure to save life first, but the decisions made in the ICU quietly shape everything that follows. From wound handling and positioning to early communication and medical stabilization, each step taken in the first days after trauma influences whether a patient will later succeed with a prosthesis or struggle […]
Oncology Amputees: Post-Op Optimization for Prosthetic Readiness
Amputation after cancer is not just a surgical event. It is the end of one long medical journey and the beginning of another that asks much more from the body and the mind. Oncology amputees face unique challenges after surgery, including delayed healing, fatigue, pain, emotional stress, and the effects of chemotherapy or radiation. These […]
Pediatric Amputation Optimization: Growth-Sensitive Pre-Fit Planning
When a child loses a limb, the challenge is never only physical. A child’s body is still growing, learning, and changing every day. Decisions made early do not just affect healing. They shape movement, confidence, and development for years to come. This makes pediatric amputation care very different from adult care, even when the surgery […]
Geriatric Optimization for Prosthetic Use: Frailty-Adjusted Protocols
Older adults approach prosthetic use with very different needs than younger patients. Strength is lower, recovery is slower, and small setbacks can have a much larger impact on independence and safety. When these age-related changes are not addressed early, prosthetic fitting may fail even when surgery and device selection are technically correct. At Robobionics, we […]
