Prosthetic Specialists
Shore Orthotics can evaluate, design and fabricate prostheses
(artificial limbs) for patients who have experienced amputation due to
accidents, congenital problems, or disabling diseases such as diabetes.
The patient will be assisted by us to restore mobility and function and
to return them to an active life style.
Our Prosthetist, Gary Seaman has consulted in many parts of Europe in the design and fabrication of all levels of prosthetics and is an expert in both upper and lower limb prosthetics. He specialises in socket design, alignment and gait training, which are the most important aspects of prosthetic use. Gary is still involved in consulting to the industry and currently is a mentor to Silicone Coach in developing their Prosthetic Gait version. Gary coined the phrase "Back to Life".
The Shore Orthotics Gait Lab is not only for Orthotics, but is a very useful in monitoring prosthetic Gait and a very valuable tool to compare pre and post adjustments, training, new components etc... The Gait Lab is also a very useful tool during Gait training. We work with our patients to design and select a prosthesis that will best suit their needs. Our patients will be trained to use their prosthesis and to actively function to the best of their ability, utilising our unique prosthetic training systems that have been taught in many parts of the world.
