Arimed

Arimed developed a patient-centered video featuring our prosthetic patients. Past patients were invited to provide testimonials and some of our practitioners were interviewed. The intent is to give new amputees a better handle on the practical and physiological aspects of what they can expect after surgery. It is designed to help patients understand and better deal with the unknown that all amputees experience.

Arimed wishes to help patients walk again and regain their life. View video: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkHmKVacigM[/youtube]
