At Syracuse Prosthetic & Orthotic Center (SPOC), we’re always looking for ways to serve our patients better, faster, smarter, and with even more personalized care.

Imagine a prosthetic foot that actually adapts to you, not the other way around. That’s the magic behind the Proprio Foot®, now available at Syracuse Prosthetic & Orthotic Center.

This isn’t your typical prosthetic foot. It’s powered by a smart microprocessor that automatically adjusts ankle movement in real time, responding to every step, slope, and surface you take on. The result? A smoother, more natural stride that feels more like you.

That’s exactly the goal. With every step, the Proprio Foot® helps reduce strain on the hips, back, and sound leg — keeping you comfortable, balanced, and active for longer.

At Syracuse Prosthetic & Orthotic Center (SPOC), we are dedicated to helping our patients live more active, independent lives. One of the most innovative solutions we provide is the Össur Power Knee®—the world’s first and only motor-powered prosthetic knee.

Unlike traditional microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees, the Power Knee® goes beyond passive support. It actively powers movement for both sitting and standing, assists with climbing stairs, and adapts its motion to the user’s natural walking style.

It took perseverance, faith, and the incredible team at Syracuse Prosthetic Orthotic Center, who became my family when I needed them the most.
