Moving Into the Future At Howard Orthotics and Prosthetics, we work hard to stay up-to-date on the latest techniques and technology. We offer the latest in state-of-the-art prosthetic devices, such as the Empower prosthetic foot, which uses microprocessor technology to create a more realistic gait. Here are some of the benefits of microprocessor technologies in prosthetics and orthotics: • Improved Balance and Stability Microprocessor-controlled prosthetics can help users maintain their balance on uneven terrain or when walking at different speeds. • Increased Gait Symmetry These devices can help users achieve a more natural gait, reducing pain and fatigue. • Reduced Risk of Falls By improving balance and stability, microprocessor-controlled prosthetics can help to reduce the risk of falls. • Increased Range of Motion Some microprocessor-controlled prosthetics allow users to perform activities that would be difficult or impossible with a traditional prosthetic, such as running or jumping. We also use digital technology in the measurement and design process, which ensures a much more accurate and comfortable fit. Bringing The Future To You We’re always looking to bring more advanced techniques back to our little corner of New York. After all the great talks about provider collaboration at the meeting we attended, we’re excited to try some of these new techniques as well. Ultimately, we want to make things easier for you, our patients. Whether you need a brand-new prosthesis or a custom-fitted orthosis, we’ll apply the latest technology and techniques to get you fitted up and ready to live your life.
