Lower Extremity Prosthetics

Prosthetic Leg Care in Springfield, Missouri

Finding the right prosthesis starts with understanding your needs. At Ozark Prosthetics and Orthotics, we work with you to discuss your daily activities, evaluate your fit, and plan the next steps in your prosthetic care.

Whether you’re preparing for your first prosthetic leg or seeking help with an existing device, our team provides fitting, adjustments, and ongoing support.

Below-Knee Prosthetics

A below-knee prosthesis replaces the missing portion of the leg below the knee. Your care includes evaluating your residual limb, discussing your activity goals, and selecting an appropriate socket and components.

We pay close attention to how your socket fits and how your prosthesis functions during your appointments. We’ll also explain how to put on, remove, and care for your device.

Above-Knee Prosthetics

An above-knee prosthesis includes a socket, prosthetic knee, and foot. Your practitioner will discuss options based on your needs, abilities, and daily activities.

Fitting involves checking socket comfort, alignment, and how the components work together. We can also coordinate with your rehabilitation team as you learn to use your prosthesis.

Socket Fit & Comfort

The socket is the part of your prosthesis that fits around your residual limb. Its fit is an important part of your comfort and control.

Changes in your limb’s shape or size, activity level, or the condition of your device can affect how it fits. If your socket feels loose, causes discomfort, or no longer fits as it did, contact our office for an evaluation. We can assess whether an adjustment, replacement socket, or another change is appropriate.

Adjustments, Liners & Ongoing Care

Prosthetic care continues after your fitting. We help with fit concerns, adjustments, and questions about liners, socks, suspension sleeves, and other prosthetic supplies.

If your device is damaged or you need help with a fit problem, call our office to arrange an appointment. Our staff can explain what to bring and whether any documentation is needed.

Your First Appointment

We’ll discuss your medical history, current device if you have one, and the activities that matter to you. Your practitioner will explain the evaluation and fitting process and answer your questions.

Please bring your insurance information, any prescription you have received, and your current prosthesis and supplies, if applicable.
