At ForMotion, innovation begins with understanding the individual. Our clinicians listen to each patient’s needs, circumstances, and goals, then combine clinical experience, evidence-based practices, and insights from a global clinical network to determine the right path forward. Sometimes that means the latest technology. Other times, it means a trusted solution that has a long history of proven outcomes. Clinical excellence is knowing the difference and putting the patient first.
ForMotion patient and former executive chef Tom knows how important it is for prosthetic care to reflect the life someone wants to live. “You want somebody that can actually discuss your life, understand what’s going on in your life, and then match a system to fit that lifestyle,” Tom says. For Tom, that means having a care team willing to listen, make adjustments, and work with him to find what feels right for the activities that are part of his everyday life whether he’s standing for long periods in his woodworking shop or cooking in the kitchen.
Innovation may include tools such as digital scanning and 3D printing, but it also extends to how we collaborate, measure outcomes, and continuously strengthen clinical care. These resources are most valuable when they support, rather than replace, the relationship between the patient and clinician.
“As our network grows, so does the opportunity to connect more clinicians to the latest technologies in O&P, as well as exposure to diverse, complex clinical challenges,” says Danny Shapiro, ForMotion Clinic Vice President of Patient Care Americas. “That’s the future of innovation: technology strengthening clinical expertise, and clinical expertise driving better patient care.”
ForMotion is a global network of orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) clinics that operates nearly 200 locations worldwide, including over 70 locations throughout the US. We serve patients of all ages and abilities, including people who were born with limb difference, are living with limb loss, or facing other mobility challenges, and our goal is for every patient to feel heard, fully supported, and cared for.
As ForMotion’s network continues to grow, clinicians have greater opportunities to share knowledge, learn from complex cases and collaborate across specialties and geographic regions. By bringing together clinical expertise, evidence-based care, and the knowledge of a global network, we can continue strengthening care while keeping each patient’s individual needs and goals at the center.
