# Vision and Mission

What we work towards, and how we hold ourselves to it.

## Vision

Mobility by Design

BioApps Sdn Bhd was established on the principle that mobility is engineered rather than issued. Every device the clinic supplies begins as a measurement of one patient, and is designed, fabricated and aligned to that measurement. This principle governs the clinic's practice, its research programme and its service delivery across the country.

## Mission

-   To design and fabricate prosthetic and orthotic devices from the measured requirements of the individual patient.
-   To maintain research and clinical practice within a single facility, so that findings in socket design and motion analysis are applied directly in patient care.
-   To extend prosthetic and orthotic services to patients in states where such services are not readily available.
-   To contribute to the training of prosthetists, orthotists and biomedical engineers in Malaysia.

## How We Work

-   ### Design from measurement
    
    Device specification proceeds from recorded limb dimensions, joint position and gait assessment, and not from standard sizing.
    
-   ### Evidence in practice
    
    Clinical decisions draw on the clinic's published work in socket design, tissue mechanics and applied biomechanics.
    
-   ### Accessibility of service
    
    Clinics are conducted across Peninsular Malaysia, with home visits arranged where travel is not practicable.
    
-   ### Continuity of care
    
    A residual limb alters in volume and shape over the first year and thereafter. Devices are reviewed and adjusted across their service life.
