The smartest step towards greater comfort, stability and confidence
A well-tailored leg prosthesis makes a world of difference. Not only for how you step or walk, but also for how you feel. Do you feel like your prosthesis could be better? Do you experience pain, instability or fatigue when stepping, climbing stairs or running? Or do you just want to make sure everything is still right?
At the Amputee Care Center by Spronken, we analyse how you move for free and in detail, so you can be sure your prosthesis is doing what it is supposed to do

We are at your service.
In our advanced gait lab, we fully map your gait pattern. Among other things, we measure how:
A 3D gait analysis is a combination of the above: movement data, forces and muscle activity, integrated into a 3D model of your gait image. This allows us to link, for example, abnormal movements to certain muscle or strength problems.
We use high-speed cameras, pressure sensors and smart software. Everything is painless, safe and calm.
The data show us what your body doesn't always indicate itself. And that is worth its weight in gold to improve your comfort, mobility and quality of life.
For any user of an artificial leg, hip prosthesis, upper leg prosthesis, lower leg prosthesis or foot prosthesis:
You are a suitable candidate for a gait analysis or second opinion consultation if you:
We assist both children and adults. Also without a doctor's prescription.

Children and teenagers with a leg prosthesis have specific needs: they grow quickly, are often very active and their gait pattern changes along with their development. Therefore, a regular gait and gait analysis in children is especially valuable.
At Amputee Care Center, we have a lot of experience with young prosthesis wearers. We look not only at the technical alignment of the prosthesis, but also at movement patterns, comfort and the emotional aspect of growing up with an assistive device.
Together with parents, we look for solutions that evolve with the child and give them the confidence to move freely at school, in the sports club and in everyday life.
Our gait and gait analysis is not just about detecting problems, but also about getting the most out of a well-made prosthesis. Whether you are experiencing symptoms or have just had a new prosthesis made: precise and expert adjustment is crucial.
Thanks to our digital measurement laboratory for prosthesis analysis, we can:
In our specialised gait lab, the damping and adjustment of a mechanical or MCK knee and dynamic foot is objectively evaluated via 3D motion analysis, force measurements and muscle activity (EMG). Thus, damping, stability and energy return are precisely tailored to your specific gait pattern, body weight and your activity level. Thanks to this data-driven approach, the prosthesis can be individually optimised for efficiency, safety and comfort in everyday functioning.
Even with a perfectly fitting prosthesis, we deploy our ganglab for final fine-tuning. This way we guarantee that everything is right, down to the last millimetre. Everything is substantiated by measurement data, not by gut feeling. That is what makes our approach so powerful.
Do you have doubts about your current leg prosthesis or wonder if it could be better? Then a second opinion is definitely worthwhile. A fresh look from a specialised team will help you discover which options really suit you. Whether you want more comfort, better movement or a difficult decision: together we will find the solution you deserve. Feel free to ask for a second opinion, it's totally okay to want to be sure.
You can come to Amputee Care Center for a free ganglab analysis and second opinion. We look objectively at how your device is functioning, give transparent advice and explore possible solutions or alternatives together.
You choose whether to adjust something, have something adjusted, or just go home with extra insight. Our advice is honest, independent and always in the best interests of the prosthesis user.
Do you run, cycle, ski or just want to move carefree with an active lifestyle? Then a well-tailored sports prosthesis is crucial.
We analyse your movement pattern during specific sports movements and provide targeted advice on the best prosthesis options, techniques and injury prevention. From recreational athletes to elite athletes, we help you move safely, powerfully and with confidence.
We are proud partners of several ambitious para-athletes and motivated athletes, including participants in national and international competitions. Together, we fine-tune every detail so that you get the most out of your prosthesis and yourself.
Everything in consultation, transparent and brand-independent. What counts at the Amputee Care Center is your comfort and quality of life.
For healthcare providers, it is important to know that digital gait analysis provides objective data on a prosthetic user's gait pattern, load and muscle activity. These measurements allow extremely precise evaluation and optimisation of the adjustment of a prosthetic knee or foot and socket connection. Thus, patients get a prosthesis that better matches their functional capabilities. This leads to greater comfort, safety and independence in everyday life.
Our gait analysis provides objective measurable data for:
A professional analysis helps to base treatment choices not only on experience or estimation, but on hard data. Thus, we make the course of rehabilitation more transparent and trackable.
We enjoy working with amputation surgeons, rehabilitation doctors, general practitioners, physiotherapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, home nurses and other healthcare providers. Clear, structured and clinically relevant, our reports are a valuable complement to multidisciplinary follow-up.
Professionals can easily refer via a short referral letter with relevant medical info or feel free to contact us directly for consultation or practical coordination. Our collaboration is low-threshold. We like to think along with the patient's care team.

A gait analysis is a comprehensive and objective evaluation of how you walk, specifically for prosthetic users. At Amputee Care Center, we analyse your gait pattern with high-end technology such as high-speed cameras, pressure sensors and special software. This is how we optimise comfort and mobility. This service is completely free of charge because we believe everyone has the right to customised care.
Accessible, expert care without financial barriers: that's what we stand for. That's why we offer both gait analysis and second opinion free of charge, with no small print.
You start with a personal conversation about your situation and complaints. Then you perform some gait movements in our gait lab. Everything is filmed and measured. Afterwards, we discuss the results together and make minor adjustments immediately if necessary.
Everyone with a leg prosthesis is welcome: children, young people, adults and the elderly. Also sporty users, people with complaints or those who want a second opinion. As long as you can walk, we can analyse.
Yes. We usually perform minor adjustments immediately. Larger procedures we plan in consultation. Everything is done transparently and independent of brand or supplier.
No. Anyone can make an appointment for a free analysis directly.
Sure! We also analyse sports movements (running, cycling, skiing, swimming, for example) and give advice on sports prostheses, injury prevention and performance. We accompany both recreational and top paralympic athletes.
Count on 60 to 90 minutes for the full course: introduction, measurements, analysis, discussion and advice. We deliberately take our time.
You get a clear explanation with recommendations. Sometimes we make adjustments immediately, sometimes you get tips on movement, footwear or posture. If necessary, we plan follow-up steps.
Absolutely. We guide you through the entire process, from preparation to fitting phase and follow-up. We use the latest technologies, such as bionic prostheses and electronic knees, fully tailored to your lifestyle.
Yes. We have a lot of experience with children of all ages. Care is always tailored to growth, comfort and emotional support. Parents are closely involved.
At least annually. Especially in case of complaints, changes in lifestyle or physique. Think of it as a preventive check-up for your mobility.
