Prosthetic Legs in Centurion, Pretoria: Below-Knee and Above-Knee

Custom prosthetic legs for below-knee, above-knee, through-knee, hip and partial foot amputations, with gait training and ongoing follow-up.

Losing a leg is life-changing, and getting the right prosthesis is a big step. At Rehab Orthotics & Prosthetics in Centurion, we design, make and fit custom prosthetic legs for below-knee, above-knee, through-knee, hip and partial foot amputations, with gait training and ongoing follow-up.

Who it helps

Adults and children after amputation from injury, diabetes or vascular disease, cancer or infection, and people born with a limb difference. Whether this is your first prosthesis or a replacement, we start with your goals: walking around the house, getting back to work, or returning to sport.

The journey

Assessment and goal-setting. We look at your residual limb, your health and how you want to live, and explain the options honestly.
Casting or scanning. We take an accurate shape of your residual limb.
A test (check) socket. A clear trial socket lets us check the fit before your final socket is made.
Fitting and alignment. We fit the prosthesis and align it to the way you stand and walk.
Gait training. We help you walk safely and confidently, and work with your physiotherapist where needed.
Regular adjustments. Your residual limb changes, especially in the first year, so we review and adjust the fit.

Components

We work with leading manufacturers including Össur and Ottobock to choose feet, knees, liners and suspension that suit your lifestyle and budget.

Medical aid and funding

We accept medical aid, RAF and WCA/COIDA patients and help with the paperwork, including quotations and motivation letters. See how funding works.

Common questions

It depends on how your limb heals, your health and your fitness. Many people start walking with a first prosthesis a few months after amputation and keep improving with practice and physiotherapy.

A prosthesis often lasts a few years, but sockets may need changing sooner as your limb changes, especially in the first year. Components wear with use and are serviced or replaced as needed. Children need replacements as they grow.

Many people do. Swimming and running usually need an activity-specific prosthesis. Driving may need car adaptations depending on which leg is affected; check with your doctor and insurer.

We see patients from across Gauteng and beyond. Tell us where you live and we will plan fewer, longer appointments where we can.
