adaptive devices
Is your prosthesis holding you back from doing what you love? Maybe it’s time to level up! Your everyday leg gets you through the day—but what about running, weightlifting, swimming, or even just rocking a prosthesis in the shower? An activity-specific prosthesis could be your ticket to getting back in the game!
Physical activity is one of the most important factors in maintaining overall health throughout one’s lifetime. Whether it’s vigorous exercise or simple day-to-day movement, being physically active increases strength and balance, improves mental health, supports better-quality sleep, and reduces the risk of disease and cancer for every body, including people with disabilities.
With the So Every BODY Can Move Bill (HF-3339 / SF-3351)now in effect in Minnesota, both commercial insurance and Medicaid are required to cover prosthetic and orthotic activity-specific devices—making it easier for you to get the equipment you need to stay active! (More information here.)
