Personalised medical devices

Multidisciplinary consultations for assistive devices: personalised solutions to restore mobility and independence

When mobility or independence are affected by a neurological or musculoskeletal condition, or by an injury, a suitable assistive device can help to improve independence and quality of life. Our multidisciplinary consultations offer personalised care, from assessing your needs right through to long-term follow-up of your assistive device.

A coordinated approach at every stage

Each consultation begins with a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s needs, functional abilities, goals and living environment. This analysis enables the team to determine the most appropriate assistive device to compensate for a motor impairment, promote recovery and facilitate everyday activities.

Comprising professionals with complementary skills, the team supports every stage of the process: design, testing, fitting and follow-up. This coordinated approach ensures a scalable solution, tailored to the patient’s needs over the long term.

The patient journey: from assessment to follow-up

The programme consists of several stages:

1. Initial assessment
The team assesses the patient’s needs, functional abilities and goals.

2. Determining the appropriate hearing aid solution
A suitable device is recommended based on the clinical situation.

3. Manufacture and testing
The device is manufactured and then tested with the patient to ensure comfort and effectiveness.

4. Adjustments and monitoring
Adjustments may be made over time to ensure optimal use and to meet changing needs.

A specialist medical and technical team

The consultation is based on collaboration between:

  • A doctor specialising in physical medicine and rehabilitation, responsible for the medical and functional assessment
  • A technical orthopaedic specialist, specialising in the design and fitting of orthoses
  • An orthopaedic shoemaker, an expert in lower limb orthoses
  • A physiotherapist or occupational therapist, depending on the patient’s needs, to optimise the use of the orthosis in daily activities

This collaborative approach ensures comprehensive and personalised care, tailored to the patient’s functional needs in order to promote effective rehabilitation.
