Redefining What’s Possible in Motion
Prosthetic & Orthotic Designs delivers advanced prosthetic technology—ranging from durable body‑powered limbs to cutting-edge microprocessor-controlled and AI-enabled systems, all designed to enhance mobility, comfort, and independence in Middletown, NY.
Body‑Powered Prosthetics:
Reliable & Affordable
- Trans-tibial or Below‑Knee (BK) systems utilize simple mechanical feet and ankle units powered by movement or opposite limb motion—durable and dependable for everyday use.
- Trans-femoral or Above‑Knee (AK) prosthetics often use mechanical systems to unlock knee joints and control foot placement, balancing practicality, and function for active wearers.
Microprocessor‑Controlled Prosthetics:
Precision & Real-Time Adaptation
- These advanced devices use embedded computing to adjust knee and ankle resistance in real time for smoother gait, better stability, and terrain adaptation—especially beneficial for active or uneven environments.
- Upper‑limb variants have elbow, wrist, or hand joints that auto‑adjust grip or stiffness per task to reduce fatigue and increase control.
Emerging Methods:
AI, Bionics & 3D Technologies
- AI-integrated prostheses, including pediatric models with vision-enabled control or neural decoding capabilities, are now entering clinical research, offering intuitive, responsive motion.
- 3D scanning and fabrication (such as 3D-printed sockets or components) allow highly personalized fit and rapid iteration, improving comfort and reducing turnaround time.
Material & Manufacturing Innovations
- Use of lightweight carbon fiber, thermoplastics, and silicone liners—not only reduces device weight but enhances durability, breathability, and comfort.
- Direct-socket fabrication techniques enable same-day delivery of finalized sockets by molding directly to the residual limb in-clinic.
Benefits Offered Through Our Technology Suite
- Improved gait dynamics: From energy-storing feet to microprocessor knees, devices emulate natural motion with greater ease.
- Adaptive control: Intelligent systems adjust posture and leg function automatically to prevent slips or missteps.
