Need info on practitioners specialized in partial foot amputee athletes

I'm writing on behalf of my cousin, Santiago Quintero.
He's a 29-year old extreme climber from Quito,
Ecuador. On February 2002, during a 3-day expedition
to climb the southern wall of the Aconcagua
(Argentina), he suffered serious frostbites and lost
all his toes and part of his right foot.
Now he needs some functional prostheses or orthoses
that allow him to return to the mountain.

I have seen on this list many names of practitioners
and manufacturers, but since I'm totally ignorant in
this field, I would appreciate if someone could let me
know about prosthetics/orthotics practitioners
specialized in treating partial foot amputee athletes.

Thank you very much,

Ana M. Oviedo
