Quality of life improvement

The loss of an arm or a leg due to an accident or illness almost inevitably leads to a reduced quality of life. Since its establishment almost 25 years ago, the Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics has worked to improve the quality of life for people in this situation.

Today, in addition to prostheses, the company also makes a wide range of orthoses, such as corsets and splints for arms and legs that support the body when bones, muscles or nerves fail.
The Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics works in close cooperation with hospitals and institutions.

The staff includes prosthetists and orthotists, who are responsible for patient contact, as well as orthopaedists, who possess the necessary technical expertise and skills in the centre’s workshops. Thanks to technological advances, it is now possible to make, for example, computer-controlled prostheses and lightweight orthoses using carbon fibre.

The centre was established in Randers and today includes ten departments in Jutland. In the spring of 2002, the Risskov department will take over the neighbouring property, thereby more than doubling the size of the premises.

The new complex in Risskov will house the entire administration as well as a new orthopaedic shoemaker’s workshop.
