Head to Foot Orthotics and Prosthetics provides specialist prosthetics and orthotics services for patients across Dandenong and Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs.
Our clinic works with people experiencing limb loss, limb difference, injury, neurological conditions, and musculoskeletal issues that require prosthetic or orthotic support. Every patient receives personalised care from an experienced prosthetist and orthotist, ensuring the most appropriate device is assessed, designed, fitted, and maintained for long-term mobility and comfort.
Specialist Prosthetic and Orthotic Services in Dandenong
Prosthetics are artificial replacements for a missing limb following amputation or congenital absence, while orthotics are supportive devices designed to improve alignment, reduce pain, and assist movement in the foot, ankle, knee, spine, or upper limb.
Modern prosthetic and orthotic technology allows many patients to walk, work, exercise, and remain active in everyday life.
At our Dandenong clinic, we provide a full range of services including:
Prosthetics
- Lower limb prosthetics
- Upper limb prosthetics
- Below knee prosthesis (transtibial prosthesis)
- Above knee prosthesis (transfemoral prosthesis)
- Partial foot prosthesis
- Paediatric prosthetics
- Adult prosthetics
- Advanced myoelectric prosthesis solutions
Orthotics
- Custom foot orthotics
- Ankle foot orthoses (AFO)
- Knee orthoses and knee braces
- Spinal orthoses and back braces
- Paediatric orthotics
- Diabetic foot orthotics
- Sports and injury orthotics
Each prosthetic or orthotic device is custom designed to match the patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and rehabilitation goals.
Below Knee and Above Knee Prosthetic Solutions
The most common lower limb amputations involve below knee amputation or above knee amputation.
A below knee prosthesis is typically used following transtibial amputation where the knee joint remains intact. This often allows improved mobility, lower energy use during walking, and greater stability.
An above knee prosthesis (transfemoral prosthesis) replaces both the lower limb and the knee joint and may use mechanical or microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees depending on the patient’s needs.
Our Dandenong prosthetist works closely with each patient to determine the correct prosthetic components, including the socket, prosthetic knee, ankle, prosthetic foot, and suspension system.
Orthotic Support for Mobility and Pain Relief
Orthotic devices help support joints, improve alignment, and reduce strain on muscles and ligaments. Many patients benefit from orthotics for conditions affecting the feet, ankles, knees, or spine.
Common orthotic conditions treated include:
- plantar fasciitis
- flat feet and high arches
- diabetic foot complications
- sports injuries
- arthritis and joint instability
- neurological conditions affecting walking
Custom orthotics are created following a detailed assessment of gait, foot mechanics, posture, and pressure distribution to improve function and reduce pain.
Custom Prosthetic and Orthotic Fitting
Successful outcomes depend on accurate assessment, custom design, and ongoing adjustments.
During the fitting process, our clinicians evaluate the patient’s anatomy, movement goals, and daily activity levels. From there, a customised device is created using modern materials and advanced alignment techniques.
For prosthetic users, prosthetic feet may include:
- energy-return feet for active users
- stable walking feet for everyday mobility
- specialised designs for uneven terrain
For orthotic patients, devices may include custom foot orthotics, braces, or supportive orthoses designed to stabilise joints and improve movement patterns.
Rehabilitation and Mobility Support
Improving mobility involves more than fitting a device. Rehabilitation and follow-up care help patients build strength, balance, and confidence.
Our Dandenong clinic works alongside physiotherapists, surgeons, podiatrists, and healthcare providers to support:
- amputee rehabilitation
- limb loss rehabilitation
- gait training and mobility development
- orthotic therapy for injury or chronic conditions
- education for long-term device use
This collaborative approach ensures patients receive coordinated care from diagnosis through to improved independence and quality of life.
Paediatric and Adult Prosthetic and Orthotic Care
Children with congenital limb difference or developmental conditions often require prosthetic or orthotic care that adapts as they grow. Our paediatric services focus on comfort, durability, and supporting physical development.
For adults, prosthetic and orthotic solutions are tailored for work, sport, and lifestyle needs. Whether a patient requires a temporary device during recovery or a long-term mobility solution, our team provides ongoing reviews and adjustments.
