Program - Aesthetic Prosthesis Assessment and Fittings
Trillium’s
WSIB Specialty Hand Program assesses suitability and readiness
for provision of cosmetic prostheses for those individuals
who have had finger/hand amputations. Aesthetic finger prostheses
are artificial silicone fabrications that are custom colour
matched to the client’s skin tone. The purpose of these
prostheses is to provide the client with a greater level of
comfort and self-confidence when interacting with other people.
If a client is a suitable candidate, they are referred to
an outside service provider for fabrication. Fittings and
follow-up are completed by hand therapists in the WSIB Specialty
Hand Program.
