Frequently Asked Questions About Back and Spinal Orthoses
-
A prosthesis is a custom-made device that replaces an amputated or missing limb to restore comfort, safety, and mobility. Médicus designs prostheses for the leg, arm, and breast prosthesis. They are intended for people who have undergone an amputation,from the toes up to the hip or shoulder, and are designed to help them resume their daily activities.
-
The process of making a custom prosthesis involves several steps: a comprehensive evaluation by a prosthetist, casting and fabrication in the workshop, followed by fitting, adjustment, and monitoring of your condition. A temporary prosthesis is often used before the final prosthesis is fitted.
-
A permanent prosthesis generally needs to be replaced every 2 to 5 years due to wear and tear. In children, replacement is more frequent because growth affects the fit. The actual lifespan depends on your activity level and how well you care for it. Regular follow-up visits with your Médicus prosthetist allow you to check the fit and plan for replacement at the right time.
-
Yes, most prosthetic limbs are covered or reimbursed by the RAMQ when prescribed by a medical specialist. Depending on the cause of the amputation, funding may also come from the CNESST or the SAAQ. The specifics vary from case to case: confirm your eligibility with the RAMQ or the relevant agency, and the Médicus team can assist you with the process.
