 Working with the patient
At the Scandinavian Orthopaedic Laboratory (SOL) the patient may expect the following:
 1. Maximum competency in medical identification of their individual situation;
2. Patient and easy conversation identifying essential living needs and the resulting expectations in relation to the prosthesis or orthosis; discussing problems related to those previously used.
3. Honest and objective presentation of all the solutions and components available technically, including presentations of their abilities and possible restrictions (also issues of different cost ranges);
4. Proper use of the time spent with the patient by the prosthesis specialist and the technician; a prosthesis or orthosis is always an individual product, thus each one is a sum total of trial stages leading to its construction. For us it is obvious that the patient is entitled to offer comments at all stages of cooperation and to try out various solutions (e.g. in case of amputation of limbs the patient, following the production of a satisfactory prosthetic funnel , may try several various technical solutions);
5. Efficient and friendly non-medical service (at the SOL reception), proposed short production period, and full warranty service both with respect to technology and to advisory services;
 At the Scandinavian Orthopaedic Laboratory we are using latest computer methods, e.g. the (CAD/CAM) system, based on an electromagnetic scanner, work station and digital milling machine, taking measure to make prostheses and orthoses. It guarantees mobility and a good fit thanks to a preliminary computer measure modification and by making a foam positive cast. Thanks to this technology we are able to store electronically the ideal shape of the prosthetic funnels for every patient. This is helpful in case of necessity to replace the funnel while no changes occur to the stump. Upon order, a new funnel is ready to be installed in the prosthesis in a very short time.
The priorities at the Scandinavian Orthopaedic Laboratory are technology and competence.
Technology - thanks to access to the latest achievements of orthopaedic technologies and abilities to use it, we are able to propose to our patients individual selection of the best materials and components of leading world manufacturers.
Competence - due to the experience gained during years of practice and constant upgrading of knowledge of optimum application of modern orthopaedic technology, we supply patients with individual solutions, adjusted to their situation and needs.
Gait analysis
We use VICON, a computerised gait analysis system, which permits analysis in three dimensions. Six cameras and a force plate at floor level provide information on the loads and the movement of limbs during walk. This system is used for both clinical patients and for analysis of gait within a number of research projects. Research is an important part of SOLīs activities and is carried out in parallel with our clinical work.
