OK Prosthetics

OK Prosthetics is a non-profit organization working in partnership with Össur Prosthetics. 

Using cutting edge research and technology, OK Prosthetics has developed a new method for producing and fitting artificial limbs, which yields far more comfortable results than traditional thermoplastic limbs, typical in developing countries. 

 

Why this limb makes sense

  • Despite the astounding fit, training for technicians takes only 1-2 days and does not require a technical background. 
  • Rehabilitation facilities are not necessary.
  • Limbs can even be fitted on location, as WRF demonstrated during its pilot program in Pakistan.
  • Once the patient is fitted, physical therapy is seldom required. 
  • WRF and OK Prosthetics believe that the goal is not about the limb--it is about getting people back to work, back to their familes, and back to living their lives.
