NovaCare Prosthetics & Orthotics

In an effort to keep every option open to our patients, our Farmington, MO center recently became certified in the IFIT prosthetic device, which is an adjustable prosthetic socket that will allow one-day fittings. The IFIT can be used on new amputees and patients who have previous prosthetic wearing experience. The benefits of this system include same-day fittings, adjustable for volume fluctuation and use in the shower, water therapy and as an immediate post-operative prosthesis.

Our team wanted to provide a friendly reminder this Halloween to wear your mask and stay safe! #NovaCarePO #HalloweenSafety #WearAMask

This little pumpkin recently graduated from our cranial remolding program and he is all smiles! Beckett came to our Sheboygan, WI center at the age of four months for treatment for deformational plagiocephaly, which is when a baby develops a flat spot on one side of the head or the whole back of the head. Just three months later he has completed treatment using a Starband orthosis and reducing his asymmetry from 13 millimeters to just 4 millimeters. We are so proud of Beckett's progress and look forward to witnessing all of the great things to come! #NovaCarePO #PediatricPatient #PatientSuccess

Jimmie was first referred to our Southfield, MI center by a local nursing and rehabilitation facility in 2019 after undergoing right above-knee amputation that resulted from severe chemical burns. Jimmie was fit with his preparatory prosthesis in February 2020 and worked hard in therapy to walk again without any assistive devices. Knowing that his birthday was approaching, the Southfield team timed his visits perfectly and Jimmie received his new prosthesis and microprocess...or knee on his big day. Jimmie enjoys the ease of donning/doffing his new permanent prosthesis with the lanyard suspension system. His strength, mental grit and abilities to use his preparatory prosthesis independently also made him the perfect candidate to be fit with a microprocessor knee. He is hopeful to become even more independent and discharge home very soon. It's hard to see the smile under his mask, but he was thrilled! #feelgoodfriday #ProsthesisPossible #novacarepo

Ricky Dean is a Navy veteran and was referred to our Marion, IL center by the VA to receive a new below-knee prosthesis. To express his patriotism, his prosthesis has a flag pattern from Fred’s Legs laminated into the socket. Thanks to his new device, which features suction suspension and an Ossur VariFlex foot, Ricky is able to confidently and comfortably get back to work at his tree trimming business. #PatientSuccess #NovaCarePO #ProsthesisPossible
