Prosthetics for the film industry

Vancouver Orthopedic Group is well known for creative problem solving abilities and being able to provide unique custom solutions for often complex and varied needs.

As a result we get requests from different organizations and individuals for our expertise in creating unique custom devices for non-medical use such as for movie special effects and props. Our work has been featured in many movies, TV shows and documentaries filmed in Vancouver. Recently we created a below knee prosthetic leg to be worn by the actress Zhu Zhu (Marco Polo, Cloud Atlas, Last Fight) who plays an amputee in the movie Two/One due to be released in fall 2018.

Some of our other creations have been featured in the following productions:

How To Kill Your Neighbors Dog – prosthetic leg for Vanessa Redgrave
BattleStar Galactica – various alien prosthetic devices
Mask of Death – artificial arm for sword fighting
Phantomscherz (Phantom Pain) – a German movie based on the real life story of one of our patients, a passionate cyclist,  who lost his leg in a hit and run accident and his emotional  and physical struggles to come to terms with it.
