🦿 Why does prosthetic alignment matter?

In this Reël, velimbatha shares his perspective on why getting the alignment of a prosthesis right is so important.

When alignment isn’t right, your body may start to compensate, which can affect the way you move and potentially place extra strain on other areas of the body. 🚶‍♂️

From his experience, getting the right alignment is about more than just the prosthesis, it’s about how the whole body moves together. 💪🏽

🎥 Listen to Veli explain why alignment matters.

Getting a prosthesis is more than simply receiving a device. 🦿✨

It is a journey. One that involves understanding the individual, their lifestyle, their goals and their unique needs. ❤️

From the initial assessment and measurements to the design, fitting and first steps, every stage plays an important role in creating a prosthetic solution that supports movement and function. 🚶‍♂️💪🏽

And the journey doesn’t end after the fitting. Ongoing care, follow-ups and adjustments can be an important part of the process too. 🙌🏽

Ever wondered what an orthosis actually is? 🦿👀

An orthosis is more than just a brace. It is a device designed to support, align, protect or improve the function of a body part. Helping people move with greater stability, comfort and confidence. 💪🏽🚶‍♀️

From AFOs and spinal braces to custom foot orthotics, there are many different types of orthoses, each designed for specific needs. 🦶🏽🦵🏽

Swipe through to learn more about orthoses and how they can support movement and function.

Your first prosthesis is not your final prosthesis
Veli Andy Mbatha chats about how your stump changes

💗 Every step tells a story.

These custom-made AFOs were designed specifically for one little girl—providing the support she needs while reflecting her bright personality. Because orthotics don’t have to be plain; they can be functional, comfortable, and fun.

When children love how their braces look, they’re often more excited to wear them—and consistent wear leads to better outcomes.

At Du Toit Orthopaedics, every orthosis is tailored to the individual, because no two patients are the same.

Your prosthetic fit can change throughout the day — and that’s completely normal.

Residual limb volume fluctuations can lead to a loose socket, increased movement, skin irritation, and reduced comfort. The good news? Small adjustments can make a big difference. 🦿

Every amputee’s journey starts with a first step.

Today, this test prosthesis is more than just a device — it’s the beginning of finding a new normal, rebuilding confidence, and rediscovering independence.

One step at a time. 👣
