Another chapter in the adventures of Jack! In 2018, Brian (one of our Certified Orthotists) made Jack a prostheses that has been his favourite for about 8 years now. But it is starting to fall apart and will soon not be repairable anymore. Today Jack came to our new location at the Carleton Place Regional Health Hub to be casted for a new prosthesis by Brian and Kirsten. He visited with Cece at the Carleton Place Pharmacy too and sure enjoys all the attention - including being vacuumed! Ottawa Valley Family Health Team

January is International Quality of Life Month.

Quality of life means different things to different people, but for amputees, it often depends on long-term care, access to properly fitted artificial limbs, and ongoing support as needs change over time.

Since 1918, The War Amps has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for Canadian amputees by providing essential funding for artificial limbs and advocating for amputees’ rights.

This month, we will be focusing on what quality of life really looks like and how your support helps make it possible.

Prosthetists create life long relationships with their patients and their support network.

Prosthetists play a crucial role in the lives of people with limb loss or difference. For me, my prosthetist is much more than someone who creates and sells parts to help me walk. What about yours?

The International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO) celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2020. David Boone wrote about how prosthetists have changed from being mechanics to becoming clinicians. At first, their skills were mostly mechanical but as technology advanced, prosthetists started needing clinical skills too. Now, they must be both technologists and clinicians, evaluating muscle strength, range of motion, rehabilitation potential, and balancing costs for users.

In the 1960s, modular components were introduced, making it faster and easier to create prosthetics. This allowed prosthetists to focus more on understanding the functional needs of users and matching them with the right technologies. Prosthetists are learning to look at all perspectives, including those of the users, for a complete view of outcomes. The development of osseointegration has also changed their roles, requiring them to understand bone physiology and infection control at implant sites. As Professor Mak said, prosthetics and orthotics are "the most clinical of all bioengineering disciplines."
