Types of Prosthetic Legs

Modern prosthetic legs have evolved significantly, offering amputees greater mobility, comfort, and natural movement. Steps Creators provides custom-fitted prosthetic solutions across the UAE.

Below-Knee Prostheses (Transtibial)

For amputations below the knee joint. These prostheses preserve the natural knee, allowing for more intuitive movement patterns. Components include a custom socket, pylon, and prosthetic foot.

Above-Knee Prostheses (Transfemoral)

For amputations above the knee. These require a prosthetic knee unit in addition to the socket, pylon, and foot. Options range from mechanical knees to advanced microprocessor-controlled units.

The Fitting Process

At Steps Creators, the prosthetic fitting follows a proven process:

1. Clinical assessment and measurements
2. Custom socket fabrication
3. Trial fitting and adjustments
4. Final delivery and gait training
5. Follow-up adjustments and maintenance

Cost and Insurance in the UAE

Prosthetic leg costs in Dubai vary depending on the type and technology. Basic prostheses start from AED 5,000, while advanced microprocessor knees can exceed AED 50,000. Many UAE insurance plans cover prosthetic devices — contact us for assistance with insurance claims.
