Preparing for Your Appointment
If you are new to the world of prosthetics and orthotics, or just new to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), you may be wondering what to expect during your appointments with us. Prostheses and orthoses are custom made devices that require detailed evaluation, casting, fitting and follow-up care.
Please follow the following links for an outline of a typical fitting process at the RIC Prosthetics & Orthotics Clinical Center.
Before scheduling your first appointment, we will need to receive a doctor’s order for the device that has been prescribed for you. You may fax this order to us at 312-238-1932 or mail it to us.
