Meet the Proprio Foot
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.
Smarter by Design
So, what makes this foot so special?
The Proprio Foot® uses advanced sensors and a built-in computer to “read” your walking pattern and adjust the ankle’s position automatically. Walking up a ramp? The ankle flexes to help you climb. Heading downhill? It adjusts again so you stay stable and secure. Even when you’re just sitting down, it moves into a relaxed position for comfort, then helps you push off smoothly when you stand back up.
It’s like having a prosthetic that’s constantly thinking ahead, working quietly behind the scenes to make every step easier and more natural.
And yes, it even adapts to your shoes. The adjustable heel height feature means you can switch between footwear without worrying about balance or alignment.
Real-Life Benefits Our Patients Notice
People who use the Proprio Foot® talk about more than just high-tech features, they talk about how it feels.
Less fatigue: Because the ankle adjusts to your movement, you don’t have to overcompensate with your hips or back. That means fewer sore muscles after a long day.
More confidence: The foot automatically lifts slightly with each step to improve toe clearance, which helps prevent stumbles and trips.
Better balance: Whether you’re navigating ramps, stairs, or uneven ground, you feel more stable and supported.
Comfort from sitting to standing: The “Relax Mode” makes sitting more natural, while “Chair Exit Mode” helps when you’re ready to get moving again.
All these small adjustments add up to a big difference in everyday life: more freedom, more comfort, and more confidence to do the things you love.
Smart Tech, Simple Living
Even with all its technology, the Proprio Foot® is designed for simplicity. It’s weather-resistant, rechargeable, and connects via Bluetooth to the Össur Logic app, so you (and your prosthetist) can check settings, track steps, or monitor battery life with ease. A full charge typically lasts all day, and the entire system is built to handle the ups and downs of daily life.
At SPOC, we believe innovation should make life simpler, not more complicated.
