Leg prosthesis for low active users

Age and poor health can have a significant impact on your mobility and confidence. Learning to walk again with a prosthesis alone can be quite a challenge.

That’s why it’s important that you feel safe and comfortable and receive the right physical and mental support. Quality of life is therefore an important objective.

Leg prostheses for low active users are therefore constructed with special attention to safety and comfort, in and around the home. Examples include shock-absorbing prosthetic feet, rotation adapters, multi-axis prosthetic knees and/or secure suspension systems.

This group of users usually have less conscious control over their prosthesis, which means that we are able, certainly in the first instance, to offer a high level of stability with the prosthesis.

Leg prostheses for highly active, dynamic users

For highly active prosthesis users, the correct choice of customised prosthetic components is crucial as well. 

These users often expect a bit more from their prosthesis, which means that the chosen components must deliver more performance.

When building the prosthesis, we take into account all activities that the user wishes to perform, as much as possible. This can be the absorption of rotational forces by rotation adapters or the absorption of impact by elements specifically developed for shock absorption. 

Each product has its specific properties. During this search, it is therefore important that the different components can be tested. 

We will be working with you to find the right product for your needs and requirements.

Microprocessor-controlled prosthetic parts

These days, the most innovative prosthetic parts are equipped with a microprocessor. This is like a small computer that optimises the functionality of the part in terms of stable and comfortable movement. These products are also called bionic products.

The most common microprocessor-controlled parts are prosthetic feet, knees or hands.

For example, this gives users of a prosthetic arm the option of using different, pre-programmed grips with their prosthetic hand.

Microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees ensure a stable and energy-efficient gait pattern.

Bionic prosthetic feet allow a user to safely walk up and down a slope or a flight of stairs, without any issues.

Research has shown that the use of these parts has a strong positive influence on the quality of life

Don’t wait and make an appointment with our specialists if you want to know more about whether you qualify for a microprocessor-controlled prosthesis!

Lower leg prosthesis

Are you looking for the best lower leg prosthesis? At the Amputee Care Center (ACC), there are several options available for lower leg prostheses, from simple models to advanced dynamic prostheses with 3D-printed fitting cases and specialised feet. The ACC plays a leading role in these innovative developments, making it a top destination for prosthesis wearers worldwide.

Simple lower leg prostheses:

  • Basic prostheses: Designed by us for everyday use, these lower leg prostheses provide a stable, reliable solution for adult and young child prosthesis wearers with lower activity levels. They are simple but functional and provide sufficient support for basic needs such as walking on flat terrain.

Dynamic and sporty lower leg prostheses:

  • Advanced prostheses: For active adults and active children, we make dynamic lower leg prostheses that adapt to different surfaces and activities. These prostheses offer more flexibility and stability, allowing the wearer to move with more confidence. They are ideal for sports activities and intensive use.

3D-printed Fitting Sleeves:

  • Innovation in fit: 3D-printed fitting sleeves offer a precise, customised fit that significantly improves comfort and performance. This technology allows us to quickly create prototypes and realise the ideal fit for each user, before we proceed to make your final prosthetic socket. Experience shows that our prosthesis wearers continue to use the fitting sleeves. We mount your old prosthetic parts and foot on them free of charge.

Upper leg prosthesis

Upper leg prostheses in Belgium and the Netherlands also range from simple models to more complex ones such as hip exarticulation prostheses.  3D-printed fitting sleeves, bionic knees, such as the MCKs and power Knee, contribute to innovation for dynamic upper-limb prostheses and upper-limb sports prostheses. A wide range of specialised prosthetic feet for specific activities are available at the ACC. The ACC is an independent - non-branded - company. This means you are free to choose your prosthetic parts. As a result, the Amputee Care Center is a market leader in personalised upper leg prostheses and attracts prosthesis wearers worldwide by offering high-quality solutions.

Leg prosthesis with knee

In Belgium and the Netherlands, leg prosthesis with knee options range from simple mechanical knees to advanced, dynamic prostheses such as MCKs and the Power Knee. Basic prostheses are suitable for people with low activity levels, while MCKs and the Power Knee offer better stability, less effort, and more natural movement for active users.

The experts at the Amputee care centre are specialised and experienced in the full range. The Amputee Care Center is a renowned second opinion centre for (potential) leg prosthesis wearers with MCK knee or Power Knee prostheses.

Prosthetic leg foot

Which prosthetic foot shall I choose? At the ACC, you get personalised care and tailored advice, and we also analyse which prosthetic foot suits you. Our leg prosthetic feet are designed with advanced technology to support specific activities, such as running, mountaineering, and dancing. These innovative feet offer enhanced shock absorption, flexibility, and stability, allowing prosthesis wearers to perform optimally in their daily lives and sporting activities. They represent the future of functional and adaptive prostheses.

Innovation in leg prostheses

  • Ultimate Personalisation with 3D Scanning for prosthesis customisation: The process of having a leg prosthesis made after amputation now often starts with a detailed 3D scan of the stump. This scan is converted into a digital model, which is then customised to your specific needs and requirements. Whether you have an active lifestyle, are looking for a comfortable everyday leg prosthesis, or need a prosthesis specifically designed for playing a particular sport - everything can be personalised. A 3D printed fitting sleeve ensures that the prosthesis is not only functional, but also fully fits your lifestyle. The prosthetic socket can be adjusted until it completely meets your requirements.
  • 3D printing: the game changer for fit leg prostheses
    In the past, getting a leg prosthesis after amputation often meant accepting compromises between fit, functionality and aesthetics. The emphasis was mainly on hiding the prosthesis. However, thanks to the emergence of modern technologies such as 3D printing, this has changed dramatically. This groundbreaking technology makes it possible to fully design and create both upper- and lower-leg prostheses with a precision that traditional methods cannot match. The result? A leg prosthesis that seamlessly fits your unique body, personal desires and specific needs.

Reimbursement leg prosthesis in Belgium

The leg prosthesis refund or reimbursement leg prosthesis by your mutual health insurance fund in Belgium varies and depends on several factors, such as the type of prosthesis, your age, and your specific situation (e.g. whether you have had an amputation due to an accident or illness). Generally, the mutual insurance company covers all or a large part of the cost of a basic prosthesis.

  • For a basic leg prosthesis, your mutual will usually cover all the costs. The reimbursement is then 100% of the established convention price.
  • For certain more advanced prostheses, there is a patient's own contribution, Since 2021, microprocessor-controlled knee prostheses (MCKs) in Belgium are partially reimbursed by the RIZIV. The reimbursement applies to specific prosthesis groups, after approval by a multidisciplinary team that assesses whether the prosthesis is functionally useful for the patient. Not all types of MCKs, such as the Power Knee, are covered by this scheme.

Of course, our experts at the Amputee Care Center will help you every step of the way, including the application to your mutual insurance company or insurer. We guide you through the entire process from application for reimbursement of costs, making your leg prosthesis, fine-tuning in our digital gait lab and running school training for optimisation of prosthesis use.
