A second opinion at Amputee Care Center is completely free of charge and without obligation. We take the time to analyse your current situation, review your prosthesis or treatment plan and give you honest, brand-independent advice. You are under no obligation. It is primarily intended to help you gain insight into other possibilities or solutions. Of course, we will be happy to help you further afterwards!

At ACC, in certain cases, we can measure, make and deliver a leg prosthesis within one day. This is possible thanks to Direct Fitting prosthesis technology and our team of experienced prosthetic technicians.

The Direct Fit method is suitable for all amputation levels, all activity levels and both beginners and experienced wearers, including immediately after amputation. This encourages early mobilisation.

A gait and walking analysis examines how you walk with or without a prosthesis. This is done using sensors, pressure plates and video analysis in our own prosthetics centre. This gives us insight into your walking pattern. This information helps us to optimally adjust your prosthesis and prevent complaints such as back pain or overexertion.

Yes, you can! At Amputee Care Center, we believe it is important that a prosthesis really suits you. That is why you can test different types and different components in a safe environment under the supervision of a specialist. This allows you to immediately feel what is comfortable, what moves well and what you prefer.

A good prosthesis starts with choosing the right orthopaedic company. Consider the following points:

• Comprehensive, personalised care: Are you being supported by a multidisciplinary team? With experienced prosthetists, orthopaedic technicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and psychologists, or just one person? Collaboration between specialists makes a world of difference to your recovery and comfort.
• Innovation and prosthetic technology: Does the centre work with modern techniques such as 3D printing, electronic and bionic prostheses? New technology means a better fit, more functionality and a solution tailored to your life.
• Experience with your level of amputation: Does the team have proven experience with your specific amputation, such as hand, forearm, upper arm or shoulder amputation for the arm, or foot, lower leg, upper leg or hip amputation for the leg? Specialised centres have expertise for each level of amputation and type of prosthesis.
• Testing options: Can you test components or systems in advance? This prevents disappointment and increases wearing comfort.
• Advanced measurement techniques: Does the centre offer gait analysis, pressure measurement or 3D scanning in its own gait analysis centre? Objective measurements ensure a more precise fit and better performance.
• Cooperation with health insurance funds: Do they work with your health insurance fund? This simplifies the application and speeds up the process.
• Own workshop: An in-house workshop guarantees quick adjustments and short waiting times.
• Transparent communication: Do you receive clear information about options, materials, costs and reimbursement? Honesty and clarity are essential.
• Accessibility: Are there multiple fitting locations or are home visits possible? This makes follow-up easier and less stressful.
• Reviews and recommendations: What do other users say about their experience with the centre? Reputation is a good indicator of quality.
• Aftercare and follow-up: How is the support after fitting? Are there free check-ups or quick help with complaints? Good aftercare is just as important as a good initial fitting.
• Quality guarantee: Is the centre ISO 13485 certified? This shows that it works according to strict medical quality and safety standards.

Amputee Care Center by Spronken: all of the above boxes ticked!

At the Amputee Care Center, you are assured of total, tailor-made care. We work with the latest technologies, have specialised teams for each level of amputation, and offer extensive testing and measuring facilities. We are ISO 13485 certified and work closely with doctors, rehabilitation teams and health insurance funds. But above all, we really listen to you and provide you with personal, committed and professional support. So you can be sure that you are in good hands.

At Amputee Care Center, we consider quality and safety to be essential. That is why we are proud to work in accordance with the ISO 13485 standard, the international standard for medical devices such as arm and leg prostheses. This certification means that we meet strict requirements in terms of product quality, safety, traceability and care processes.

What does that mean for you in concrete terms? You can rest assured that your prosthesis will be manufactured and delivered by us in accordance with the highest medical standards. Everything is done with the utmost care and precision, from the first contact to long after delivery.

In short: with us, you not only receive a top-quality prosthesis, but also guidance and care you can really rely on.

Have you already had a prosthesis made somewhere else? That's no problem. You are always welcome for a second opinion or advice. We work independently of brands and discreetly. We respect the partnerships you already have with your current healthcare provider, but we are happy to see if we can do anything additional for you.

From the very first contact, we will do everything we can to make you feel at ease. We will listen to your story, answer your questions and see how we can best help you. You can count on open communication, a warm welcome and good coffee (or something refreshing). The introductory meeting is completely free of charge and without obligation.

Certainly. In fact, it is especially valuable to be well informed in such cases. We will discuss with you and your doctor what you can expect before, during and after the amputation. This will help you to be better prepared and less afraid of the unknown. An early introduction often makes a big difference in recovery and acceptance.

Yes, absolutely. At Amputee Care Center, we have a big heart for children and years of expertise in designing and fitting children's prostheses. An amputation in a child, whether congenital or caused by trauma or illness, has not only a physical but also an emotional impact on the whole family. That is why we offer specialised care that is tailored to children and their unique needs. Our paediatric teams specialise in all levels of amputation and types of prostheses.

At the Amputee Care Center, we take this fully into account. We work with temporary and adjustable prostheses that grow with your child. Thanks to accurate 3D scans or plaster models, we can perfectly adjust the fit whenever necessary. This allows your child to move freely and comfortably.

Children grow quickly and are full of energy. Their prosthesis must therefore be more than just functional. We make prostheses that move with their lives: light, sturdy, adjustable and comfortable. And just as important: we ensure that the prosthesis suits the child, also visually. For example, it is possible to get a prosthesis with the design of their favourite superhero. Together, we create something that makes the child feel good and boosts their self-confidence.

Because children grow, we schedule regular follow-up consultations. We ensure that the orthopaedic device always fits properly and matches the child's development. This allows them to play safely, go to school, play sports and, above all, be themselves. All this with confidence and a smile.

At the Amputee Care Center, you can count on a warm, child-centred approach. We guide your child step by step in a safe and familiar environment. With playful explanations and room for questions, we ensure that your child feels understood, while you as a parent are actively involved in every step of the process.
