Innovative Technology
Hanger was founded on clinical innovation and since its beginning has been a leader in introducing state-of-the-art prosthetic and orthotic components to patients. Hanger continues to develop innovative technology only available through Hanger practitioners. The patented ComfortFlex Socket System sets a new standard in socket technology. The Comfort Flex gives the user maximum comfort by incorporating the unique shape of the residual limb with channels and grooves that support the underlying anatomy. The result is a socket that provides maximum comfort and promotes muscle growth and better circulation for the residual limb. Hangers latest innovation, the WalkAide, gives unprecedented mobility to people who have had a stroke or suffer from multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries or cerebral palsy. This FDA cleared device uses functional electrical stimulation to produce a safer and more natural gait.

Innovative Technology
Insignia, Hangers exclusive 3D laser imaging system, easily and comfortably creates a precisely t, customized prosthesis or orthosis. This alternative to plaster molding ensures a more accurate t, creates permanent patient records and assists in documentation for medical or insurance needs. The Insignia logo throughout this guide indicates products made using the Insignia system.

This prosthetic and orthotic product guide is intended to be used only as a reference. While comprehensive in scope, every product currently on the market could not be included. Additionally, because technology is constantly evolving, the products shown are subject to change. It is the responsibility of the prescribing physician to select the correct device which will meet the needs of a patient. Consultation with a board-certied prosthetist or orthotist helps ensure that the most appropriate product is prescribed.

Introduction to Prosthetics
A Certied Prosthetist (CP) or Certied Prosthetist/Orthotist (CPO) provides clinical care to patients with amputated or congenitally absent limbs. They design, fabricate and t prosthetic devices (articial limbs). These devices replicate the function and appearance of a limb so that patients can resume activities of daily living and work. Signicant developments in the last twenty years have dramatically advanced the eld of prosthetics. Improvements in material science have provided stronger and more durable lightweight materials (titanium, composites) that enable users to function and ambulate with greater ease and less stress. Soft materials that absorb axial loading and shear forces are commonly used to enhance the t and feel of the prosthesis. New designs in feet, knees, hands, arms, sockets and interface liners have brought us closer to the goal of completely restoring lost function and appearance. The future of prosthetics lies in microprocessors integrated into prostheses to assist with specic functions and computers to improve diagnosis and design. The prosthetics profession is moving toward evidence-based practice with clinical protocols based on scientic research. Advanced technology does not guarantee optimal rehabilitation outcomes. The prosthetists role is to provide each patient with an appropriate prosthesis and to deliver ongoing care to insure optimal t and function. Every patient has different functional and lifestyle requirements that must be met for that person to regain functional independence. The prosthetist incorporates expertise in anatomy, socket design, materials, components, gait analysis, and biomechanics in their evaluation of the

patient to design the most appropriate prosthestic system for each patient. Patients have the best chance for a successful rehabilitation when prosthetists work closely with doctors, therapists, social workers, and other professionals, as well as the patients family and insurance company. Post-operative Protocols: The physician will generally determine which prosthetic treatment protocol is utilized following surgery. These commonly include: 1.  Rigid Dressing (RD): used to prevent knee exion contracture, manage edema and protect the surgical site. A second RD is usually applied 7-10 days following surgery as part of this protocol. 2.  Removable Rigid Dressing (RRD): used for the same purpose as the RD, with the added benet of being able to remove the dressing and monitor the surgical site as needed. Prosthetic socks of increasing thickness are used to ensure continued t as the edema in the residual limb decreases.  The Kiwi, a Hanger innovation for lower extremity amputations, provides all of the advantages of a traditional RRD with additional benets provided by its unique design that includes a transparent silicone liner covered by an adjustable and removable rigid cast. The removable custom outer shell allows visual inspection of the residual limb through the transparent liner while providing continuous support and compression to the limb.

3. Immediate Post-Op Prosthesis (IPOP): a combination of an RRD with the addition of a pylon and foot or hand system. The IPOP allows the patient to ambulate with controlled partial weight-bearing shortly after surgery. Applied early and correctly, an IPOP provides protection, volume management and early function, while preparing the residual limb for prosthetic wear and/or ambulation. This protocol is more common in a hospital or rehab facility because it requires that the patient be closely monitored by a physical therapist and rehab nurse. 4. Compression Therapy: is the use of a compressive wrap or sock shrinker to control edema when none of the previous treatment protocols are appropriate. Compression therapy is often utilized as part of the previous treatment protocols. Preparatory Prosthesis: Following the successful use of any of the above listed postoperative processes, the physician will order the tting of a preparatory prosthesis. The preparatory prosthesis is designed to allow the patient to begin rehabilitation before the residual limb has completely stabilized in size. Its design allows the prosthetist to continuously adjust the prosthesis to mirror the progress achieved by the amputee as the patient regains strength and condence. A preparatory prosthesis can be used as soon as six weeks post-surgically and throughout rehabilitation until the residual limb edema has stabilized. Should large reduction in limb volume occur, the modular design allows the socket segment to be replaced and ret to ensure optimal t of the prosthesis.

Denitive Prosthesis: The design and tting of this prosthesis is a reection of all the rehabilitation processes that have previously occurred. The prosthetist considers the strength, motivation, functional requirements, and daily needs of the user when recommending the design, components and materials utilized for each prosthesis. The goal of the denitive prosthesis is to allow the patient to fulll the requirements and functions unique to his or her daily activities. All denitive prostheses are custom-made utilizing a mold of the remaining residual limb. The mold may be generated either from a plaster cast impression or through the use of Insignia, Hangers computer imaging system. After the mold is created, a series of diagnostic test sockets are t to ensure optimum comfort and function. Test sockets are often set up for trial as part of the dynamic alignment process. Once the alignment and proper t of the prosthesis are determined, the denitive prosthesis is fabricated and delivered to the patient for use. Cosmetic enhancements (shaped foam covers and latex skins) are usually delayed until all follow up adjustments have been made. Regular long-term follow up is essential to ensure optimal prosthetic rehabilitation for the patient. The Hanger Lower Extremity Program is comprised of practitioners certied and specically trained in all aspects of lower extremity prosthetics. Because of Hangers network of internationallyrenowned specialists, a team of experts is readily available to work on particularly complex cases, such as hip-disarticulation and hemi-pelvectomy amputations, bi-lateral amputees, and those who face unique challenges with their residual limb. Hangers lower extremity specialists utilize a full spectrum of state-of-the-art prosthetic components such as microprocessor knees and feet. Hangers ComfortFlex Socket System provides a socket design that gives more exibility to the patient and promotes a healthier residual limb. To assure that each patient receives the most appropriate prosthetic system, Hanger has developed a unique Patient Assessment Validation Test (PAVET). This analysis evaluates a patients particular circumstances in terms of lifestyle, health, capabilities and goals and assists clinicians in delivering the best care to every patient.

Lower Extremity Functional Classications


Prosthetic components and design elements are selected based on the patients functional level (or K Levels 0 to 4). Functional level is determined by the reasonable expectations of the prosthetist and the ordering physician. Considering factors include, but are not limited to:  The patients past history (including prior prosthetic use, if applicable)  The patients current and potential abilities and condition including the status of the residual limb and the nature of other medical problems The patients desire to ambulate Clinical assessments of a patients functional level should be based on these classication levels: Level 0: Does not have the ability or potential to ambulate or transfer safely without assistance and a prosthesis does not enhance quality of life or mobility Level 1: Has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for transfers or ambulation on level surfaces at xed cadence. Typical of the limited and unlimited household ambulatory Level 2: Has the ability or potential for ambulation with the ability to traverse low level environmental barriers such as curbs, stairs or uneven surfaces. Typical of the limited community ambulatory Level 3: Has the ability or potential for ambulation with variable cadence. Typical of the community ambulatory who has the ability to traverse most environmental barriers and may have vocational, therapeutic or exercise activity that demands prosthetic utilization beyond simple locomotion Level 4: Has the ability or potential for prosthetic ambulation that exceeds basic ambulation skills, exhibiting high impact, stress or energy levels. Typical of the prosthetic demands of the child, active adult or athlete Note: Bilateral amputees often cannot be strictly bound by functional level classications.
