About Amparo
Key Highlights
Resilience Socket
The Resilience socket designed to be your ideal definitive socket. It has all of the remoldable characteristics of the Confidence socket, but is 20% lighter thanks to its low profile adapter and distal Kevlar interlay. It also has a low profile adapter which allows for use with seal in liners and elevated vacuum.
Motio StepWatch™
The Motio StepWatch™ is an accurate and reliable tool to measure a prosthetic user’s functional level and mobility potential. It is a remote monitoring device that analyzes patients’ real-world daily activities, providing insightful reports, and supporting clinicians in the functional level decision process.
Amparo Tool Kit
Everything you need to fabricate and finish a socket is provided in the Amparo tool kit. It’s supplied in a wheeled bag allowing for a practitioner to be fully mobile when necessary. All you need for fabrication is an outlet for use with the Heat gun and Compressor provided in the kit. All you need to do is bring the proper alignment components to get the patient set up and standing.
Motio Functional Reports
Accurate Patient Assessment
To centralize all the essential information required for an accurate patient assessment, the Motio System incorporates different outcome measures: AMPPRO®, PLUS-M™, Timed Up and Go Reports can be used for reimbursement purposes & justifying a patient’s need for certain prosthetic components.
CEU Courses
NuTech Synergies has created several approved courses for Amparo. These are offered either in facility or virtually & are designed to teach participants the required skills and knowledge to teach specific technique for fabricating the Amparo Confidence Socket directly to a patient’s residual limb.
History
The History of Amparo
Amparo started out in 2014 with the goal of improving the efficiency of the socket production process. This was achieved through what they call the confidence socket, a completely portable, thermoplastic socket fabricating system designed to be made on the patient in less than 2 hours.
Based on feedback, the Confidence Socket was followed by the new Resilience Socket.
The Resilience socket itself is a proprietary thermoplastic that can be remolded up to 5 times. Meaning, if the patient changes shape and loses a lot of volume, that same socket can be heated back up and remolded to the new shape – rather than utilizing socks or pads to try and fill up space.
Why it matters
Amparo = Mobile
Not only is the system mobile, but it’s extremely efficient. It is designed to get the patient up and walking in about 1-2 hours. This is a big difference maker for new amputees, who have just been cleared for weight bearing.
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.
Measuring a prosthetic user’s functional level
Once the data has been collected, the Motio StepWatch™ system uses specific proprietary algorithms to generate scores related to ambulation energy, cadence variability and the user’s peak performance.
One of those outputs is called the Motio Functional Report.
Motio service
Showing a vivid picture of each individual’s daily activities
The Motio Functional Report provides a unique solution that empowers O&P clinics and insurance companies or specialists to elevate the patient care of lower limb prosthetic users by providing wearable devices designed to be worn for a minimum of 7 days.
By using the Motio service, the rehabilitation team gathers data that shows a vivid picture of each individual’s daily activities and potential. This way, the team can make more informed decisions on each individual’s prosthetic rehabilitation.
Reports
White Coat Effect
Getting an accurate view into your patient’s daily activities
All too often patients report, unknowingly, that they ambulate either more or less than they actually do. The clinician is then left with the picture of a patient that may not be 100% accurate.
To centralize all the essential information required for an accurate patient assessment, the Motio System incorporates different outcome measures, AMPPRO®, PLUS-M™, Timed Up and Go.
The report highlights the following factors:
- Steps
- Cadence
- Top Speed
- Max Continuous Walking Distance
