What is the prosthesis consultation?
The prosthesis consultation is similar to a consultation on fitting concepts. We provide advice:
- free of charge
- in detail in 1 hour appointments.
- Together as a team: you, possibly your relatives, our highly experienced master orthopaedic technician Olaf Gawron, Dr. med. Michael Sauer (Viasana, Speyer), possibly a responsible technician and physiotherapist from the respective branch.
- all-encompassing: Together, we will discuss your residual limb and general physical conditions, your goals and wishes, your possible dissatisfaction with the past or current fitting and analyze possible reasons for this.
The next step is to discuss together what can, should or must be changed in order to improve the fitting. What is special here is that we not only find professionally sound and technically feasible solutions, but also discuss the feasibility of these care concepts with you with regard to the cost bearer. - non-binding: We offer you detailed, well-founded care proposals that you can take home with you without any obligation to us. You may want to sleep on it for a few days, check it out again yourself, discuss it with your technician or come back to us to implement it - it's entirely up to you.
Briefly & concisely explained
Questions about the prosthesis consultation
Who is the prosthesis consultation for?
The prosthesis consultation is aimed at anyone whose current fitting is causing them problems, who is considering an amputation or whose questions about alternative fitting options have not yet been answered.
What is the aim of the consultation?
The aim of the consultation is to discuss detailed, targeted and well-founded solutions to a wide range of questions and problems together as a team. Our intention is to create proposed solutions in accordance with health insurance contracts/your cost bearer in order to reduce the technical, professional and bureaucratic barriers to optimal care. However, we cannot, of course, guarantee that costs will be covered at a later date.
