Capstone Orthotics & Prosthetics

Between graduations, vacations, and long weekends, a little prep goes a long way when it comes to travel plans. If you’re traveling with a prosthesis or orthosis, here’s a quick travel checklist:

▪️ Backup socks/liners
▪️ Small cleaning cloth/wipes
▪️ Any tools/supplies your clinician recommends
▪️ A plan for swelling such as extra breaks
▪️ Comfortable footwear that has been broken in or tested
▪️ If you require assistance at the airport, call ahead to make arrangements

Thinking ahead now can ensure a smooth vacation with all of the fun and none of the stress. ✈️

This month, we're celebrating Limb Loss and Limb Difference Awareness Month by answering some prosthetic FAQs.

Q: After getting a prosthesis, will there need to be more appointments and adjustments?

A: Yes! At Capstone Orthotics & Prosthetics, we walk you through every step of your mobility journey—from initial consultation to adjustments years down the road. After getting your prosthesis, we'll schedule a follow-up 2 weeks after delivery, monthly for 3 months, and then every 6 months or as needed.
