Congratulations to Prosthetics in Motion


The American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics & Pedorthics (ABC) recently awarded Prosthetics in Motion, Inc as an ABC Accredited Facility.  ABC sets high standards for organizations so when a facility is accredited by ABC, it is considered the mark of exceptional quality.  The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid service has validated ABC’s accreditation program and has established ABC’s accreditation as an approved prerequisite for suppliers of prosthetics, orthotics and pedorthics.  This is another example that Prosthetics In Motion, Inc Manhattan, is committed to the highest quality prosthetic care for our patients!

Otto Bock Visits Prosthetics in Motion

Otto Bock recently spent 2 full days in New York City at Prosthetics in Motion. This was the first of 3 visits and Prosthetics in Motion is proud to be the first in the US to have this new hands-on education.  The purpose of the course was to educate Prosthetics in Motion staff members on the latest techniques in Sub Atmospheric Suspension Systems.  Otto Bock manufactures the Harmony E-Pulse Electronic Vacuum Pump and the Harmony P3 Vacuum Pump.  The visit was a success as two patients (1) trans femoral and (1) trans tibial were taken out of their traditional sockets and fit with vacuum sockets.  Prosthetics in Motion is committed to learning the latest in technologicial techniques,  so every patient treated  by Prosthetics in Motion will benefit!  If you are interested in vacuum socket technology, please call us at 212 951-7352 for an appointment at our New York City location.

Prosthetics in Motion teamed up with the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) and Ossur to provide custom designed running prostheses for Harvey Parry a 3 year 9 month old little boy.  CAF donated the Flex-Run prosthetic feet manufactured by Ossur and Prosthetics in Motion donated time and experience to fit and align them. Prothetics in Motion custom designed the socket and frames which the Parry family paid for through their fundraising.  Harvey lost his legs to meningitis when he was a baby. His family does not have health insurance and faces the staggering cost of paying for his future prosthetic care.  Harvey's family is constantly fund raising to purchase his prosthetic legs which need to be replaced every year due to growth.
