- If necessary, we will schedule a follow-up visit for you.
Custom foot orthoses
Our podiatry and prosthetist-orthotist students manufacture custom foot orthoses as a part of their studies. The tailored orthoses we offer are based on a thorough assessment of the client's functional capacity. We use various manufacturing techniques to ensure the perfect fit for you.
Upper limb support
Make an appointment for the first visit to the occupational or physiotherapy services if you need to purchase a wrist brace.
During the first visit:
- we do an examination of your upper limb functionality
- we will check together with you whether the Villa Manus products or individually manufactured solution would be the best solution for you
- in addition we will assess the need for independent exercises and possible follow-up visits
For the needed upper limb aid or equipment for independent exercise, we charge a fee according to the price list of our joint partner Villa Manus.
Individual hobby aids
If you need hobby aids and cannot get a payment commitment, we are here to help. Our students carry out orders as project work. Our staff, who are health care professionals, are responsible for the projects.
Please note that
- the cost estimate is based on the used materials in the product
- the price includes an assessment, measurements, manufacturing of the product, intermediate adjustments, delivery of the product and instructions for use, as well as inspection.
Measurement services
We offer a variety of measurement services, including:
- foot plantar pressure measurement
- comparative measurement of lower limb prosthesis and lower limb orthosis components in our motion laboratory.

All measurement services are conducted by our students under the supervision of healthcare professionals.
