Prosthetic Alignment

In regards to prosthetics, the term “alignment” refers to the relationship between the joints of the body and specialized prosthetic components like knees and feet. At MCOP, we are able to adjust prosthetic alignment to help ensure that the most efficient, durable, and comfortable walking pattern – or gait – is achieved by the patient.
