As we stay active longer in life, our knees develop osteoarthritis.  This video explains the condition well and a great orthotic treatment.

The Otto Bock X3 prosthetic knee is the most advanced knee system available for transfemoral (above the knee) and knee disarticulation amputees.   The microprocessor control and advanced sensors allow the X3 to be as active as possible.  Mud, dirt, and water, are no longer a concern.  The X3 is environmentally sealed.

The iLimb Ultra, is one of many products from TouchBionics that offer the upper extremity amputee programmable hands to meet your individual needs.  You can even download new functions with your smartphone.

The LimbLogic VS system from WillowWood, is an elevated vacuum system for suspension and moisture evacuation in transtibial (below the knee) and transferal (above the knee) prosthetic sockets.   Sockets that utilize elevated vacuum provide the wearer with the least motion within the prosthetic socket possible.

The WalkAide system, from Innovative Neurotronics offers an alternative to conventional orthotics for those with foot drop as a result of central nerve disfunction.    Our practitioners are highly skilled and experienced with the WalkAide system.
