“The first device that actually fit. After three years of fighting with one that didn't, I walked out of Manifest pain-free.”
About this service
Lower-Limb Prosthetics
A lower-limb prosthesis isn’t a product you buy off a shelf, it’s a relationship between a residual limb, a socket, and a way of moving through the world. We design and fabricate every one in our Tampa lab. Every socket starts with a MEDIXA digital scan. Every fitting is done by a clinician who knows the patient by name.
Most of our lower-limb patients fall into one of three buckets: a new amputee navigating their first device, a long-time amputee whose current socket no longer fits, or a patient whose activity level has changed (more sport, more travel, return to work) and needs a device tuned to a different life.
We work the case through completely, insurance verification, prior authorization, scan, design, fabrication, fitting, gait training coordination, and as many adjustments as it takes. Then we stay involved for the long haul, because bodies and bodies’ demands change.

By level of amputation
The full anatomical range.
We fit every level of lower-limb amputation. Each comes with its own clinical considerations, componentry options, and gait expectations.
BK
Below-knee (transtibial)
The most common lower-limb fitting. PTB and TSB sockets in carbon and thermoplastic with high-performance feet matched to your activity level.
AK
Above-knee (transfemoral)
Ischial-ramus-containment and MAS sockets paired with microprocessor or mechanical knees from Ottobock, Össur, and others.
Partial
Partial foot & Symes
Slipper sockets, custom-fab partial-foot devices, and Symes prosthetics for distal-tibia amputations.
Hip
At-the-hip (hip disarticulation)
Complex sockets for hip-level amputation. Less common, more nuanced, we’ve done this work and we’ll walk you through what to expect.
Bilateral
Bilateral lower-limb
Patients with two prosthetic legs need coordinated socket design, alignment, and gait planning. We do this work as one case, not two.
Pediatric
Pediatric lower-limb
Growing devices for growing children, see our pediatric page for the full pediatric approach.
What we offer
Componentry and capabilities.
- Transfemoral (above-knee)Sockets from ischial-ramus-containment to MAS, paired with microprocessor or mechanical knees from Ottobock, Össur, and others.

Who this is for
Patients we commonly fit.
- New amputees fitted post-surgery, we coordinate with your surgeon and physical therapist.
- Existing prosthesis users with a poorly-fitting socket, persistent pain, or skin breakdown.
- Active patients whose current device limits the life they want to live (work, sport, travel).
- Patients seeking a second opinion on a recent fitting elsewhere.
How it works
Our fitting process.
01
Free consultation
Meet our clinician, share your history and goals, and we’ll outline a fitting plan.
02
MEDIXA digital scan
A 30-second handheld scan captures your residual limb, no plaster casting.
03
Design & fabrication
Socket, suspension, and componentry chosen and fabricated in our lab.
04
Fitting & refinement
Initial fitting, adjustments, gait alignment, and follow-up visits as needed.
Technology & materials
Why our fittings work.
We pair MEDIXA digital scanning with established componentry from Ottobock, Össur, College Park, Fillauer, and Freedom Innovations. Component choice is driven by your clinical needs and activity level, not by a sales relationship. We’ll explain what each option does, what insurance is likely to cover, and what the realistic outcome looks like.

Frequently asked
Common questions about lower-limb prosthetics.
How long from first appointment to walking on the new device?
For a straightforward transtibial fitting, 2–3 weeks from scan to final fitting is typical. Microprocessor-knee transfemoral patients often run 4–6 weeks because of programming and gait-training coordination. We’ll give you a concrete date at your free consultation.
Is a microprocessor knee right for me?
Microprocessor knees deliver more natural gait, better stability on uneven ground, and reduced fall risk, especially valuable for K2/K3 ambulators. They’re not automatic for every patient and insurance criteria vary. We’ll assess fit during your consultation.
What if my current device fits but isn’t comfortable?
Bring it in. We see a lot of patients whose previous fitting was ‘close enough’ but not right. Sometimes a socket refit solves it. Sometimes a different liner or alignment change does. Sometimes it’s a new socket. We’ll tell you straight which.
Do you handle insurance pre-authorization?
Yes. We verify your benefits, file pre-authorizations, and walk you through what you’ll owe before any work begins. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Tricare, BCBS, United, Aetna, Cigna, and most other major plans.
