Symes Prosthetics: Restoring Mobility and Independence

At Palmetto Orthotics and Prosthetics, our team of experienced prosthetists specialize in providing customized Symes prosthetics for individuals with Symes level amputations. A Symes amputation is a surgical procedure that involves removing the distal portion of the foot, typically below the ankle joint.

What is a Symes Prosthesis?

A Symes prosthetic is a type of prosthetic foot designed to mimic the natural movement of a normal foot. It is typically used for individuals with a Symes level amputation, where the distal portion of the foot is removed. The prosthetic is designed to provide a natural gait, allowing individuals to walk and stand with ease and confidence.

Benefits of a Symes Prosthesis

A Symes prosthetic offers numerous benefits, including:

• Improved mobility: A Symes prosthetic allows individuals to walk and stand with ease, reducing the risk of falls and improving overall mobility.
• Increased independence: With a Symes prosthetic, individuals can perform daily activities with confidence, without relying on others for assistance.
• Natural movement: The prosthetic is designed to mimic the natural movement of a normal foot, allowing individuals to move freely and comfortably.
• Reduced phantom pain: A Symes prosthetic can help reduce phantom pain by providing a more natural sensation in the residual limb.
