Arm And Hand Amputees Achieve High Levels Of Function With Advanced i-LIMB Technology

Houston, TX – November 18, 2010 – "Most of us will never know just how devastating the loss of a hand or arm can be," says Tom LeTourneau, of LeTourneau Prosthetics, "and the truth is that if you've never lost an upper extremity, it would be inappropriate to even attempt to describe the experience. We can tell you, though, how exciting it is to see so many of our clients with upper extremity amputations discover greater functionality through the most advanced technology and training available today."

For 20 years, LeTourneau Prosthetics has been providing quality prosthetics to both upper and lower extremity amputees.

Many factors go into a successful prosthetic fitting, and upper limb prosthesis poses special challenges because of the complex nature of the hand and arm functions. Fortunately, you can turn to LeTourneau Prosthetics, a leader in prosthetics and orthotics in Houston, Texas.

One cutting-edge bionic technology that LeTourneau Prosthetics offers is the new i-LIMB™ Hand. The first prosthetic to be available from this revolutionary new technology is the Touch Bionic i-LIMB Hand, which has individually articulating fingers, a rotating thumb and a range of grip patterns. All of these features are combined in a hand that is more anatomically correct than any other hand available before.

"For those with an absent upper limb, there are actually several options," says Tom. "Some may be more appropriate than others based on many factors, including level of amputation, condition of residual limb, individual goals and work requirements. In addition, certain individuals may require alternating use of more than one option to maximize their rehabilitation potential."

LeTourneau Prosthetics makes it a point to never have a one-size-fits-all mentality when serving their clients. They take the time to fully understand their clients and their future goals.
