websitebuilder • April 1, 2018

Unfortunately, people who require prosthetic limbs have long been marginalized due to stigmas associated with their artificial body parts. Thanks to the advances in technology and society, prosthetics have become more accepted and more natural. Huse Artificial Limb & Brace has helped South Florida residents find prosthetics since 1992. Our doctors and staff have kept up with the advances to make sure you find the best artificial limb for yourself.

New Materials

Many of the advancements throughout the years have been in finding new materials for prosthetics. Be it advancing from wood to carbon fiber in prosthetic feet, or plastics and metals for legs and arms, materials are becoming lighter and stronger.

Bluetooth

Of the newer technologies, Bluetooth has revolutionized prosthetics. First used for a double leg amputee, this technology can help people walk or perform daily tasks with their prosthetic limb.

Sockets

The connection between the biological body and the prosthetic limb is a vital component. Sockets, that make this connection, have developed in terms of both material and interaction with the body.

Make sure you receive the best care, fit and technology in your prostheses by visiting Huse Artificial Limb & Brace. Call us at 954-432-0355 for more information!
