what codes should I use for the resilience socket?
- L5700/L5301 – Socket Rep/Bk Prosthesis
- L5671 – Locking or
- L5647 – Suction or
- L5781 – Vacuum
- L5940 – Ultralight

The new Resilience Socket allows for any suspension option – including vacuum. And can now utilize the ultralite code. Since the confidence and resilience are direct formed you won’t utilize diagnostic codes, but you will still utilize the standard total contact and alignables coding.
who is a candidate for the resilience socket?
- Bk Amputees
- New Amputees
- < 330 pounds
- < 27cm in L
- < 45cm Distal Cir
Amparo Indications
Why Amparo
The Amparo system works really well in any mobile scenario as well as at satellite clinics that may not have full labs or technicians. Not only can you see patients in their homes when necessary but you can reduce back and forth between hospitals and rehab centers by eliminating the need for multiple appointments.
Patients who have scheduling or transport conflicts which can either limit the number of times they are able to come to clinic, or cause them to no show all together are ideal patients for the system as you can get them fit and off to therapy in one visit.
Ideal for:
- Home Visits
- Mobile Clinics
- Hospitals
- Nursing Homes
- Rehab Centers

Outcomes
what does the output from the motion functional report look like?
Once the data from a patient acquisition is recorded, the system generates a Motio Functional Report, utilizing specific proprietary algorithms to provide scores related to ambulation energy, cadence variability, and the user’s peak performance. These scores represent numeric values that, when combined with the clinician recommended K-level provided when finishing the functional evaluation, generate an average that corresponds to the Motio Functional Level.
Motio Functional Report - Starter Kit
- 6 Reports
- 1 Motio StepWatch™ device*
- Access to the Motio App
- Unlimited cloud storage
- Specialized Training
- Online support
- Free shipping of the device
CEU Courses
NuTech Synergies offers several options when it comes to Amparo CEU courses.
Our 2.25 credit online course – NuTech: Amparo Confidence Socket Training :
This is a video designed to teach specific technique for fabricating the Amparo Confidence Socket directly to a patient’s residual limb. Each section covering important steps for fitting a Confidence Socket, the Modules are: 1. Tools and Materials 2. Preparing the Stump 3. Preparing the Socket 4. Fitting the Socket 5. Finishing the Socket
Our 4 credit course – Amparo In-Person Training:
This is an in person one-on-one Clinical Training experience which follows the procedures of the Amparo training video, designed to teach specific technique for fabricating the Amparo Confidence Socket directly to a patient’s residual limb. The training program is presented in 5 sequential skills which build upon the previously learned material.Practitioners who complete this training program will have directly fit a patient with an Amparo Socket that when connected with pilon, ankle, and foot will be able to ambulate by the completion of this training experience. The proof of learning the skill is proven by the patient satisfaction with their socket and prosthesis.
