Faris Kahel
Orthotics & Prosthetics
With a Bachelor's degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics from the University of Jordan, I bring extensive knowledge and hands-on experience in patient care, rehabilitation, and advanced orthotic and prosthetic solutions. My passion lies in improving mobility and enhancing the quality of life for individuals with musculoskeletal and neurological conditions.
I began my career in Jordan, providing customized orthotic and prosthetic solutions tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Working closely with patients of all ages, from children requiring cranial remodeling orthoses to adults in need of complex lower limb prosthetics, I developed a deep understanding of patient-centered care. Since 2021, I have been based in Kuwait, where I continue to apply my expertise in hospital settings, managing full orthotics and prosthetics departments, and collaborating with physiotherapists to optimize patient rehabilitation.
Throughout my career, I have specialized in treating conditions such as scoliosis, foot deformities, drop foot, post-amputation rehabilitation, and pediatric cranial reshaping. My commitment to innovation has led me to explore 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies, allowing me to create precise, customized orthotic and prosthetic devices that enhance patient comfort and functionality.
What sets my approach apart is my focus on integrating traditional craftsmanship with modern digital solutions. Whether it’s designing an advanced carbon fiber AFO or fitting a transtibial prosthesis for a new amputee, I believe in a holistic approach that prioritizes biomechanics, functionality, and patient comfort.
I strongly believe that mobility is a fundamental right, and my goal is to restore independence and confidence in every patient I work with. As I continue to advance in my field, I strive to combine evidence-based practice with the latest technological advancements to provide the best possible outcomes for my patients.
