Dicky de Best - our prosthetic expert witness
A prosthetic expert, also known as a prosthetist, is a healthcare professional who specializes in the design, fabrication, fitting, and customization of prosthetic limbs. A patient who has experienced limb loss or limb absence (arm, leg, fingers,etc) due to various reasons, such as amputation, congenital limb differences, or trauma, needs the best possible help to regain function and mobility. At AOFE Clinics, our expert prosthetists specialize in upper part prosthetics, including handling insurance paperwork to ensure comprehensive care.
Dicky de Best has experienced personal limb loss for herself many years ago. She is therefore trained in evaluating the unique needs and goals of each individual patient and developing customized prosthetic solutions to meet those needs. She works closely with patients, rehabilitation professionals and our surgical team to provide comprehensive care and support throughout the prosthetic fitting and adjustment process.
The prosthetic expert at AOFE Clinics meticulously plans functional prosthetic solutions based on extensive research in the field, enhancing the quality of life for patients, as highlighted in our latest blog.
