Experience and Expertise

ProActive Prosthetics has many years experience in fitting upper and lower limb prostheses. We have experience with several double amputees who have achieved a good level of mobility and activity. We have many patients who are involved in physical activities and we have been successful in providing innovative solutions for a wide variety of activities including horse-riding, sailing, canoeing, cycling and snowboarding. Our patients range from under 4 to over 80 years old and we pride ourselves in providing for individual needs, aesthetically and functionally, from a high definition leg for high heels to the latest image on a custom made socket and simple support legs and cosmetic arms through to cutting edge computerised limbs.

ProActive Prosthetics are experts in socket design and fit. The socket is the interface between the residual limb and the prosthesis and we believe good socket design and fit is fundamental to success. The prosthetists have had many years experience in this area and it has been a particular field of research interest for Richard Nieveen.
