Prosthetics
Prosthetics, is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, diabetes, vascular condition, disease, or a condition present at birth (congenital disorder).
Prostheses are intended to restore the normal functions of the missing body part.
At CAREVALE we design custom prosthetic solutions for all levels of lower limb loss using clinically-appropriate technology and state-of-the-art components. In addition, we also employ computer aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and microprocessor technologies, when appropriate.
Prosthetics at CAREVALE begins with a one-on-one consultation with the clinician and includes evaluation, recommendations, treatment, education and rehabilitation.
Our practitioner’s major role is to design and fit custom-made prosthetic devices. Our team is dedicated to provide patients with the most effective prosthetic solutions. We are continually working to advance the care of prosthetics through research and education.
Amputations Level
Lower Extremity Functional Classifications:
Prosthetic components and design elements are selected based on the patient’s functional level (or “K” Levels 0 to 4). Functional level is determined by the reasonable expectations of the prosthetist..
Mobility class 1 (Indoor walkers):
The patient has the ability or the potential to use a prosthesis to move from place to place or for walking on a flat surface at low speed. The walking time and walking distance are both strictly limited by his condition.
Mobility class 2 (Restricted outdoor walkers)
The patient has the ability or the potential to walk at low speed with a prosthesis and to overcome minor obstacles such as curbs, single steps or uneven ground. The walking time and the walking distance are both limited by his condition.
Treatment objective: To restore the patient’s ability to stand and enable him to walk around in the home and the immediate vicinity.
Mobility class 3 (Unrestricted outdoor walkers)
The patient has the ability or the potential to use a prosthesis for walking at moderate to high and also variable speeds, and to overcome most obstacles.
He is also able to move around on open ground and can carry out occupational, therapeutic and other activities that do not exert undue mechanical stresses on the prosthesis. The user may have an additional need for safety due to secondary circumstances (additional limitation, special living conditions) in connection with moderate to high mobility demands. The walking time and the walking distance are both marginally limited compared with healthy individuals.
Treatment objective: To restore the patient’s ability to stand and enable him to walk around unhindered at home and with only insignificant limitations outside.
Mobility class 4 (Unrestricted outdoor walkers with particularly high demands)
he patient has the ability or potential to use a prosthesis for walking as well as the unrestricted outside walker. In addition, high impact stresses may occur, for example, due to high body weight. The walking time and walking distance are unlimited .
Treatment objective: Treatment objective: To restore the patient’s ability to stand and enable him to walk around unhindered at home and with unlimited walking and mobility outside.

Running Solutions
At Carevale, we empower athletes with prosthetics to excel in the sports they love, win championships, and achieve their goals. We work closely with elite runners, Paralympians, triathletes, long jumpers, and other athletes to create sports-specific prosthetics that cater to their unique needs and competitive objectives.
We use breakthrough technologies in materials, design, and engineering to develop prosthetics that help athletes push their limits. Our blade-shaped prosthetics are designed to store energy and use it to propel the runner forward. Unlike bionics, electronics, or magnetics, our prosthetics use physics to help athletes perform at their best. When the athlete’s foot hits the ground, the blade compresses and stores potential energy, which is then used to push the runner forward, utilizing up to 90% of the energy generated by their stride. This allows athletes to push harder and go further, whether they are exploring new territories or taking on their next challenge.
At Carevale, we believe that everyone deserves a life without limitations. We are committed to using cutting-edge technology to help athletes achieve their full potential and pursue their dreams, no matter what challenges they face.
