Apple Picking Who doesn’t love taking a big, delicious bite of an apple right after you plucked it off a tree? Apple picking is a bit more leisurely than a hike but still requires that your prosthesis is in good working order and fits appropriately. You don’t want to miss out on the fun due to skin discomfort or joint pain. As with more intense fall activities, we can check the fit of your device and adjust it as needed. If you have knee osteoarthritis or similar joint pain, a custom orthosis can help you enjoy apple picking, fall festivals, and other day-long fall outings with less risk of a bad pain flare-up. Why You Should Schedule Your Fall Appointment Now Designing a custom prosthetic or orthosis doesn’t happen overnight. Our team of CPOs takes care to create the best device for your needs, but the process does take time. By scheduling your appointment at the end of summer, you can ensure your device is ready to go by the time the fall colors are peaking. Here’s the basic process so you know what to expect: 1. We’ll conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine your needs, including chatting about the fall activities you want to participate in this year. We can also walk you through the available device options. 2. Next, we’ll take your measurements to ensure a good fit. We use scanning technology to speed up this process and ensure the best possible accuracy. If you already have a device, we’ll review the fit to see if anything needs to be adjusted. 3. We’ll design your device in-house using cutting-edge techniques and technology, ensuring a top-of-the-line product. 4. We send the design to our fabrication center. Once it's ready, we’ll bring you in for a fitting and help you make the most of your new device. Enjoy Autumn with a Little Help from Our Certified Prosthetists/Orthotists
