The resources I wish I'd had right after my amputation
Guides, forms, contacts and a glossary. Everything you would normally hunt down across ten browser tabs, gathered in one place so you don't have to look for it on your own.Artur Wąsowicz, foundation founder, prosthesis user since 2020
Educational content: the materials in this section are informational and supportive. Choosing a prosthesis, applying for funding or reaching out to a specialist is always worth discussing individually with your doctor, your prosthetist or an adviser at PFRON - the State Fund for Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons.
What you'll reach for most often
After-Amputation Navigator
Paperwork, reimbursement, funding and document templates, step by step.
Choosing a prosthesis
A comparison of prosthetic types and components, with a list of questions for your prosthetist and doctor. What to choose for your amputation level and lifestyle.
Component test database
How specific knees, feet and sockets hold up in daily use, described from the user's point of view.
Prosthesis manufacturer directory
Ottobock, Össur and other manufacturers: contacts, specialisations and component ranges in one place.
Where to fill your prosthesis prescription
The official NFZ database (Poland's National Health Fund) of contracted medical device providers. Choose a region and town. Note: the results also include general medical shops, so search by prosthetic product code rather than by company name.
