LimbMatch: Revolutionizing Prosthetics with User-Led Reviews

A groundbreaking new platform called LimbMatch has launched at limbmatch.com, offering what the founder calls a movement, not just a product. It’s the first of its kind in the UK—a review platform powered by real users—where people with limb differences can find candid, patient-led feedback on prosthetics and clinics.

The Backstory: A Movement Rooted in Lived Experience

The platform was born from the lived experiences of its founder, Nicole Brennan, who faced firsthand the frustrations of feeling invisible in a prosthetics system that prioritized marketing over practical, honest feedback. At just six months old, she was fitted with a prosthetic simply to "blend in," and by her teenage years she had completely stopped attending clinics.

Returning to the prosthetics industry as an adult, Nicole saw the systemic flaws more clearly: opaque prescribing practices, a glaring absence of real-world user reviews, and a disturbing prevalence of ableist messaging in promotional material. Determined to create change, she built LimbMatch with the community, not just for them.

What Makes LimbMatch Different

• Authentic, user-led reviews
  LimbMatch brings together prosthetic users, clinicians, and people with limb differences to share honest, jargon-free experiences—think Trustpilot meets Compare the Market, but tailored to prosthetics.

• A platform built collaboratively
  Over 50 prosthetic users have already contributed insights into what such a service should provide—from how clinics and devices are reviewed to how results are displayed.

• Championing inclusion from the ground up
  “This isn’t a product. It’s a movement,” says Nicole. LimbMatch aims to dismantle outdated power structures and center disabled voices in prosthetics decision-making.

What To Expect: The Beta Launch

LimbMatch is gearing up for a beta release showcasing up to 10 prosthetic products, aimed at giving early adopters and investors a snapshot of what truly patient-led healthtech can look like.

This beta is about more than testing features—it's about demonstrating the power of transparent, accessible, and person-first design. Nicole envisions this platform as a restorative experience—for the 15-year-old version of herself, and for anyone else who feels overlooked in their care journey.

Closing Thoughts

At its core, LimbMatch challenges the status quo. It isn’t just helping users find prosthetic devices or clinics—it’s empowering them to make informed decisions, grounded in shared experience. With its launch at limbmatch.com, this platform may just redefine how confidence, choice, and community intersect in orthotics and prosthetics.
