Scope of Services Include Lower and Upper Extremity
Prostheses
Because each individual has unique needs regarding
level of amputation, function, durability, comfort and
appearance, our prosthetic staff fits and fabricates
a wide variety of both upper and lower extremity prostheses.
Our clinicians are experienced in creating prosthetic
devices that range from a partial hand or foot, to those
requiring prostheses as a result of total shoulder or
hip disarticulation, as well as upper and lower extremity
bi-lateral amputations.
Our expertise extends to pediatric, adult and geriatric
prosthetics.
Leaders in Technology
 Snell
Laboratory firmly established our leadership in technology
in the early 1990’s as the first independent prosthetics
facility to bring computer aided design and manufacturing
(CAD/CAM) to Arkansas.
This pledge of bringing the latest in technology and
best in care continues with our expertise in various
applications of myo-electric and microprocessor components
for upper extremity prosthetics and microprocessor components
for lower limb prosthetics, when appropriate.
Your physician, prosthetist, and therapist—along
with your family members—comprise the support
team that helps and guides you to progress and develop
your skill at manipulating your prosthesis more easily,
whether you choose a microprocessor design or a more
basic functional design depending on your lifestyle
and needs.
New Prostheses…New Possibilities
“State of the art” changes rapidly, so we
advise any amputee who has been wearing their prosthesis
for several years to ask your prosthetist to update you
on the latest design improvements, and discuss possible
upgrades that may make a world of difference in expanding
your functional capabilities.
