Prosthetics - Upper extremities
Individuelle Finger-/ Teilhand- oder Handprothesen, alle haben denselben Anspruch: das „Original“ bestmöglich zu ersetzen. Sowohl in funktioneller wie auch ästhetischer Hinsicht.
„Ich will mich wohl fühlen- auch wenn ich meine Prothese trage.“
MAXIMALE FUNKTIONALITÄT
Greifen, drehen, führen, den Unterarm anheben und viele weitere Funktionen gilt es nach einer Amputation in der Oberen Extremität zu ersetzten. Der Schaft spielt hierbei die zentrale Rolle und ist das Herzstück jeder Versorgung.
Was für Sie die bestmögliche Versorgung in der Armprothetik darstellt, entscheiden Sie! Wir erproben mit Ihnen gern alle möglichen Varianten. Sowohl im Schaftbau, wie auch der Passteilauswahl!
HIGH TECH AUF KLEINSTEM RAUM
Möglichst leicht, intuitiv zu bedienen und individuell angepasst, nur so verlässt jede Prothese unser Haus!
Möglichst unauffällig soll es sein! Wir geben uns die größte Mühe Ihnen diesen Wunsch zu erfüllen.
The advancement in orthopedic technology has led to revolutionary developments that have improved the lives of many people. At Seifert Technische Orthopädie, we are at the forefront of these innovations, especially when it comes to silicone prostheses.
Silicone hand prostheses
These prostheses are highly realistic replacements designed to mimic the shape, feel, and sometimes the function of a natural hand. Through detailed moldings, individual color adjustments, and fine detailing such as veins and skin folds, we achieve a lifelike appearance. These prostheses not only offer a convincing aesthetic appearance but also provide some protection for the stump and can even enable basic grasping movements.
Silicone partial hand and finger prostheses
For those who have lost parts of the hand or individual fingers, our prostheses offer a nearly seamless restoration of the outward appearance. With integrated joints for improved mobility and a individually matched color tone, differences to the natural counterpart are often barely noticeable.
Full arm silicone prostheses
For complete arm loss, these prostheses represent an impressive combination of aesthetics and function. They encompass the entire remaining area and offer a lifelike appearance through careful color matching, skin textures, and individual features.
The forearm is an essential part of our daily movements and activities, from simple grips to complex tasks. A loss of this area can have profound impacts on an individual's daily life and confidence. At Seifert Technische Orthopädie, we pride ourselves on offering advanced solutions in the field of forearm prosthetics aimed at restoring quality of life and functionality.
What are forearm prostheses?
Forearm prostheses serve to replace the missing part of the arm, typically from the elbow to the hand. These prostheses can be purely cosmetic, focusing on a lifelike appearance, or they can be functional prostheses that enable movement and gripping ability.
Operation and technology
Modern forearm prostheses combine biomechanical principles with innovative technology. They can:
Be myoelectrically controlled, where sensors pick up the electrical signals from the remaining muscles and translate them into movements of the prosthesis.
Mechanically operated prostheses, where movements from other parts of the body are used to activate the functions of the prosthesis.
Adjustment and comfort
A successful prosthesis requires individual customization. At Seifert, we emphasize that the prosthesis is not only functional but also comfortable to wear. This means that we take careful measurements and adjustments to ensure that it fits well, protects the stump, and prevents skin irritations.
Quality of life and rehabilitation
With the right prosthesis and training, users can resume many of the activities they were engaged in before the loss of their forearm. This includes not only everyday activities but also hobbies and sports.
The upper arm plays a crucial role in our mobility and how we interact with the world. A loss of this body part can have significant impacts on our independence and daily life. Therefore, Seifert Technische Orthopädie has made it their mission to optimize the quality of life of those affected by providing the best solutions in upper arm prosthetics.
What are upper arm prostheses?
Upper arm prostheses are designed to replace the missing part of the arm from the shoulder joint to the elbow. Depending on the needs, these prostheses can be designed to restore a natural appearance, or they can be aimed at maximum functionality to give the user a high level of independence.
Technology and innovation
In today's world, upper arm prostheses are characterized by an impressive level of technological advancement.
Myoelectric prostheses:
Using sensors, these prostheses interpret the electrical signals from the remaining muscles and convert them into movements. They often enable more intuitive control and finer movement sequences.
Body-powered prostheses:
By using cable systems and joints connected to other parts of the body, users can move their prosthesis.
Individuality and customization
The key to a successful prosthesis lies in individual customization. Bei Seifert legen wir großen Wert auf eine genaue Passform, die nicht nur Funktionalität bietet, sondern auch Komfort garantiert. Through regular checks and adjustments, we ensure that you are always optimally cared for.
Rehabilitation and reintegration
With the right prosthesis, training, and support, users can achieve a high level of independence. At Seifert, we accompany you through the entire rehabilitation process, from the first step to full reintegration into everyday life.
