Orthoses to support joints or soft tissue, or to replace lost function of the nerve and/or muscle
Our orthopedic engineers are specialists within in orthoses. They have extensive experience with orthopedic technical aids associated with stroke, ligament damage, arthrosis, soft tissue tears and fracture injuries, among other things.
An orthosis is an aid that acts as an external support for a body part. The purpose is to relieve pain, ease and improve activity or counteract malalignment.
In order for the orthosis to fit properly and function optimally, it is often created individually based on the individual's needs. We can also use a of the shelf orthosis, which are adjusted to the physics and anatomy, so that e desired result is achieved.

Solutions to problems originating in or from the feet
A foot afflction or failure in walking function can cause pain in other parts of the body, in the back, pelvis, hips or knees. Then a footbed/insole can help you relive your pain.
Footbeds/insoles are shoe inserts that are individually made or adapted to the foot. Footbeds combined with the correct shoes, can correct and unload malalignments, relieve painful areas and make sure to distribute the load evenly under the sole of the foot.
Our orthopedic enginers (CPOs) are concerned with the interaction created between the foot, the insole or footbed and the shoe. They have great knowledge of the anatomy and biomechanics of the foot, and specialize in being able to select or create the insoes/footbeds and shoes that are best based on your needs. It ensures that you will have an optimal effect, whether you need help with a foot ulcer or a solution that takes relives the pain in your heel when playing football.
To make a footbed, we first need to make a model of your foot. This can be done using a scanner, plaster or foam impression. The insole is made from this individual model. It is possible to use the same model to make several copies. "Insoles" are prefabricated soles that are customized from a footprint.
For those who need wound relief or unloading, we also have customi made medical shoes. Contact us and we will be happy to assist you!

In case of amputation
Sometimes the state of the patients health is so severe that a body part needs to be amputated. Then an individually adapted prosthetic can make a big and positive difference.
The most common cause of leg amputation in Norway are ulcers that do not heal due to poor blood circulation. It can be caused partly by diabetes or an acute disruption in circulation. If a body part has been seriously injured in an accident, amputation may be the only solution, Disease such as cancer, can also lead to amputation. Whatever the reason and which body part is amputated, most people opt for a prosthetic solution.
Our orthopedic engineers, lower-limb prosthetics specialists, have extensive experience in producing and fitting prostheses for amputees. We work with all types of prosthetics, both for below the knee- , knee- , femur- and hip protesis.
The orthopedic engineer can use different measurement methods to take measurements for the prosthetic socket.
If the prerequisites are present, we use the Direct Socket casting method where the prosthetic sleeve is cast directly on the amputated stump. With this technique, the possibility of getting started with the prosthetic training immediately after the prosthetic adaptation is opened, since the measurement and fitting takes place on one and the same day. This also allows you as a patient to have fewer trips to and from the clinic in connection with measurement and manufacturing /fitting. We also strive to ensure that you as a patient are involved in the whole process to deliver the best possible results.
Whether you're going through an amputation – or have already been amputated – you probably have a lot of questions. You are welcome to contact us and we will assist as best we can with information and support. Sometimes talking to someone in the same situation is good and helpful, and we are happy to help you get in touch with others who have been through an amputation.
Our engineers are also present at several rehabilitation centers specializing in leg amputations, in order to perform adjustments to the prosthesis as the amputation stump matures and the gait pattern improves.
We want to be constantly evolving so that we can always provide you with the best and targeted treatment – and that you, as quickly as possible get the best possible function and correspondingly a good quality of life.
