Martin Musson understands the importance of living an active lifestyle that keeps him young at heart. Recently, Martin was finding it difficult to do the things he loved like fishing and being a handyman. He had knee pain which was caused by a sports injury and aggravated by a missing ACL. John Martin realizes he can't change what happened in the past but makes every effort to change what happens tomorrow.

Services
We are also a wheelchair friendly facility with a fully accessible washroom. We have a full service laboratory on site and are able to fabricate all types of prosthetic and orthotic devices. This ranges from fabricating our foot orthoses on site to externally powered upper limb prosthetics to conventional (leather and metal) orthotic devices.
When someone is faced with needing orthotic or prosthetic intervention, he or she may not always know what to expect. It is reassuring to know that there is a place you can go to get some answers about your condition, have a complete physical & biomechanical assessment performed and have the chance to review your treatment options.
An orthosis is a custom designed and custom fabricated device to help restore function & mobility, prevent deformity and provide support and protection for an affected limb. Once a prescription for a custom orthosis has been made, the process of obtaining an orthosis may begin. At the initial appointment, the patient is assessed both physically and cognitively to determine their needs, goals, and desires.
There are multiple sources of funding for prosthetics and orthotics. Custom orthotics and prosthetics are eligible for billing through an Assistive Devices Program (ADP). This program is run through our provincial government and it entitles you to a coverage of up to 75% of the total cost. The remaining 25% is the responsibility of the patient.
The BiOM Ankle is a prosthetic ankle that is designed with the below knee amputee in mind. It replaces the function of the individual's lost muscle and tendon anatomy and provides more energy than it stores. Biom technology emulates the missing calf muscles assisting in the amputee's forward progression during each walking stride.

Thank you to Dan and his staff for the amazing service! Had to have new straps put on to my custom knee braces. They were able to accommodate me with an early morning appointment on short notice, plus they made all repairs and adjustments in their shop while I waited. Exceptional service - above and beyond. I highly recommend them to anyone.

They told me to get the wrong knee brace that isn’t for injury prevention, but for injury recovery, because odsp will pay for all of it? Not only is that horrible advice which would have lead to continuing and worsening injuries, odsp fully covered the actual knee brace I needed? They didn’t take my measurements because they didn’t think odsp would cover the brace, and made me wait weeks longer then needed to just take measurements? When my knee brace arrived on Thursday like they said, there telling me I can’t I have it til Monday because someone’s on vacation?! I need these to walk
