Handspring 4 Riverside Drive, Middletown, NY 10941

"In 2013 I was involved in a devastating work injury which eventually cost me part of my left arm, after 14 surgeries and 4 months in the hospital I was in pretty awful shape physically and mentally. As soon as I was home and doing rehab my case manager suggested I talk with the people from Handspring telling me ,These people specialize in Upper Limb Loss, where other prosthetic companies only do Upper Limbs occasionally [as most amputations aren't Arms and hands]. Handspring came to see me at rehab facility almost immediately after contacting the company and talked with me and started working on a game plan to get me back to living my life to as close to what it was before my accident. I have now been working with these amazing people for 10 years, and I can honestly can say they are the absolute best!, They work tirelessly to get you, and make you whatever prosthetics you need to make your quality of life the very best it can be after the devastation of losing an Upper limb. My residual limb was pretty mangled and nerves and muscles weren't where they should be but made me activity specific, and myoelectric limbs which due to my oddly shaped limbs were very custom made. Every step of the way there are also therapists to teach you how to use your new limbs. I would highly recommend Handspring to anyone I ever met who had a recent upper limb loss or had an upper limb prosthetic that wasn't happy with the company they are working with, Handspring rocks."

"I recently had a really incredible experience at Handspring, where they fitted me for a new prosthetic socket and helped me achieve my vision of a unique, visually-distinct chrome design. My previous socket, which was over two years old, had become really uncomfortable and was affecting my control over my myoelectric device. My skin was popping out around my elbow and would become really red after a few hours of wearing my arm. It had definitely been discouraging me from wanting to wear and use my device — which is never a good thing when it comes to developing good control! The process of getting a new socket can be frustrating for prosthetic users, but the Handspring team made it seamless and I truly couldn’t be happier with the result. Initially, I was nervous about the feasibility of this socket process, because I could only be in the area for a short period due to college move-in. The team at Handspring, however, went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule, fitting me in for a full day of fitting during the brief window of time that I had available. The fitting process was smooth and enjoyable, with the Handspring team being attentive and responsive to my feedback. They listened carefully to my concerns and discomfort points with my old socket and made all of the necessary adjustments. What really made this such a great experience though, was their willingness to embrace my fabrication vision. As someone interested in design and self-expression, I was really interested in creating a very reflective, chrome-finish socket. While this was something they hadn't done before, they not only encouraged the idea but also explored multiple options to make it a reality. We started with a metallic fabric fabrication and a resin seal over the socket, but it didn't quite achieve the 'chrome' look I had in mind. I expressed my disappointment, and without hesitation, my prosthetist immediately began researching alternative solutions to meet my ideas. They didn’t make me feel burdensome at all, and encouraged my feedback. This level of commitment meant the world to me. Wearing a prosthetic device has been a journey of self-acceptance for me, and having a cool and visually distinct socket has made a significant difference in my confidence and interactions with others. It's a part of me that often comes up in conversation almost daily, and having a socket that I truly love is a game-changer for my self-expression and daily life. I am fully aware that creating the chrome socket was a unique and uncharted fabrication process for Handspring. Nevertheless, I am immensely grateful for their dedication and persistence in helping me achieve this look! Their level of care, attention to detail, and the commitment to turning my creative vision into reality has left me feeling really grateful. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of prosthetic care and support."

"My handspring has been instrumental in helping me be placed and fitted with a prosthetic that is extremely helpful. Having originally been fitted with a robotic device that was not efficient, and then having medical issues with my area of injury, the team at my handspring showed me an incredible level of support through needing surgery and through finding a device that was functionable and realistic I have been living with my new prosthetic for around 3 months now, I am very grateful and in a much better place because of their support and craftmanship in seeing these devices constructed and fitted. I cannot thank the team at my handspring enough!"

"It gives me great pleasure to share my thoughts with you about Handspring and their representatives. Several years ago I had an unfortunate accident. I have found everyone at Handspring to be very professional and understanding to my needs. Quality and details and care that they put into the prosthetic devices goes without reproach. I would not hesitate to give them my highest recommendation if you are in need of a prosthetic device."

"After just one day at Handspring the people there were like family, not staff. Being a country girl coming from Florida to New York I was apprehensive. Being 56, born with one hand and not having a prosthetic I didn't know what to expect. They were so caring but very professional. Each step was done by different people and each one worked their magic to make sure everything was perfect! Even down to how a two handed person walks! I love my body powered prosthetic and all the people at Handspring that made it perfect just for me!"
