Low, Medium & High Level Activity

Prosthetics are classified as low, moderate and high activity prosthetics.  

Low level of activity are generally geriatric patients or some one uses the prosthesis to transfer or a patient who moves slowly on even grounds. Primary amputees can start off as a Low activity amputee and progress towards a higher activity level.

 

Moderate to high activity patients are someone who has the ability to or the potential to walk on uneven surfaces and navigate their walking ground or path based on the environmental condition. There patients are usually unrestricted indoor walkers but restricted outdoor walkers. High activity patients and prosthetics are for unrestricted walkers.  We do a thorough assessment to determine the level of activity so that each and every patient’s needs are matched when it comes to the type of prosthesis and that the most suitable componentry used.
