 Ossur North America offers the Proprio Foot™, the latest addition from Bionic Technology by Ossur, the company’s brand for a pioneering category of prosthetic devices.
The world’s first motor powered and artificially intelligent prosthesis for transtibial amputees, the foot operates as closely as you can get today to natural, anatomical functioning. Developed by Ossur’s R&D department, the foot’s motion analysis capabilities are facilitated by real-time sensor technology from Dynastream Innovations of Canada.
Like Ossur’s Power Knee™, the Proprio Foot replaces muscle function that was lost with the amputation. The foot enables amputees to perform activities in a normal and functional pattern through sensor technology and artificial intelligence.
The Proprio is the winner of a 2007 Medical Design Excellence Award.
