Interim prostheses

Early fitting of a prosthesis plays a significant role in rehabilitation success. The prompt and correct application of compression to the residual limb, together with getting the patient back on his or her feet as soon as possible have a positive impact on the rehabilitation process.

Interim prostheses are employed as a temporary measure prior to definitive fitting. The function of modern interim prostheses should correspond to that of the definitive prosthesis.
The trial fitting can help determine whether or not the amputee is capable of standing and walking.
