Muilenburg Prosthetics & Orthotics

Our philosophy is to help those with limb loss achieve an improved quality of life with the most appropriate functional prosthesis.

We cover all aspects of prosthetics including, but not limited to: above and below knee prostheses; microprocessor knees; M.A.S. socket design; Harmony Vacuum Assisted Socket Design; upper extremity prostheses, with expertise in myoelectrics and the Dynamic Arm.

Regardless of the degree of complexity, our able team of certified prosthetists and technicians can fit and fabricate all types of prostheses. We consult with physicians, therapists, rehabilitation nurses, social workers, vocational counselors, family members, and any other expert involved in a person’s rehabilitation to provide the best possible outcome. Functioning as a team, we pool our expertise to design and produce the prosthesis most suitable for that person’s physical needs, ability, lifestyle, preferences, and activity level.

For amputees, the Muilenburg team handles all the details of fitting and fabrication in our well-equipped laboratory. Our staff also does all adjustments, maintenance, and repairs of devices on-site. After being accurately measured and fit, our patients are instructed in the use, care, and hygienic requirements of both the device and their residual limb.

The prosthetic needs of pediatric patients requires the skill and expertise of practitioners who are knowledgeable about the factors unique to that age group. A pediatric patient is constantly growing and developing, so the practitioner needs to constantly evaluate and adjust the prosthesis to accommodate the ever-changing child.

Muilenburg Prosthetics, Inc. experience with pediatric patients goes back more than 50 years when company founder Al Muilenburg’s first patient was a 12-year-old with PFFD. Through the years, MPI has developed a close association with Shriners Hospital for Children - Houston and The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research (TIRR) in providing care for pediatric patients who have limb loss through trauma, disease, or birth defects.

Improved technological advancements provide a variety of prosthetic componentry exclusive to the pediatric patient. As with all its patients, MPI works closely with the child’s physician, therapist, and primary caregiver to ensure the child receives the best prosthetic solution.
