A patient of mine that had a traumatic partial foot amputation. This young man is very active and was excited to be able to run at full speed after receiving his new silicone partial foot prosthesis.
The new Ossur Symbionic Leg (Rheo knee w/ the Proprio Foot combination) John Costello fit on a patient yesterday. This prosthesis is the first to incorporate both a microprocessor knee and microprocessor foot. The most impressive part is it allows trans-femoral amputees to descend and ascend inclines smoothly as the Proprio foot adapts to the incline.
