In my eyes, this is no other place like POSI.  On your initial call to POSI, Miss Pam, makes you feel welcome, she is friendly, helpful and personable, and in my eyes goes above and beyond to help you in any way. That right there is Triple A plus service, they are very lucky to have her. Yuke Kee, I cannot say enough about her, she is simply marvelous at what she does in every way, ask and she will answer and she gets back to you with any issue you may have.  Shuo is great, he is quiet but watches and then does his thing and is very helpful.  Kevin Towers is also very good and helpful. While I was struggling in rehab with my prosthesis from the other company, he came to the rehab and professionally explained what was wrong with my prosthesis. 

 At POSI, they believe in teamwork from the front to the back, my slogan for them, “teamwork makes the dream work”.  You get all of this wonderful service and most importantly a great prosthesis that is comfortable and allows you to get back to living your life.

I was going to the University to receive classes in 2012.  A few meters from the entrance, while I was waiting to cross the street, a car passed in front of me and while I looked towards the other side of the road, he shot me at point-blank range. Unfortunately, the health system of my country (Honduras) does not meet the appropriate conditions and after a week my leg did not improve. I had lost 90% of the sensation in my foot and noticed changes in skin color and dead tissue began to appear. They took a sample to do a laboratory test and the result was a Necrotizing Fasciitis, in other words a flesh-eating bacteria. I became infected in the operating room where I had undergone surgery. I spent days struggling daily with high fevers, antibiotics, and painful procedures to remove dead tissue. After a month, we saw no improvement and I decided to get my leg amputated.

I’ve waited for 6 years to have the opportunity to afford a proper prosthesis to fulfill all my needs and to achieve all my goals and dreams, my plan was to go to the US to get a prosthesis.  I did some research with my cousin through internet, we find a couple of clinics but felt that POSI was the right one for me, and I thank God that I got decided for them. They’re the best of the best hands down.

Working with them was a game changer for me, I trusted them since day one, and they did and awesome job with my socket fit and my knee was properly adjusted for my needs.

I got a lot of self-confidence, I trust in my knee a 100%… something that I never felt before since I lost my leg. Now I know that I can do whatever I want without hesitation, have long walks, ride a bike, lift heavy weights, get back to cooking and a lot more.

I had an aneurysm behind my knee that caused much damage, after many surgeries my leg could not be saved resulting in amputation above the knee.  My life changed forever, but I had hopes of being able to get back to some of my favorite hobbies like working on engines, music, snorkeling and rocketry.

After interviewing prosthetic companies from a list provided to me by Cooper Hospital, I chose POSI as my prosthetic company.  During the interview process, I felt that POSI had my best interest at heart, Yuke Kee shared many resources with me that were beneficial as a new amputate.  Their approach was educational rather than a “sales” approach like some of the other companies.

Understanding the prosthetic fitting process and being able to participate in your care is very important. The team at POSI was excellent and explained every step of the process and answered all my questions thoroughly.  I was able to trial different micro-processor knees before picking the one that felt the best for me, which was the Plie 3 and decided on the Ossur Talux prosthetic foot.

POSI made the overall experience less scary and provided guidance on how to return to as much of a normal life as possible.  They are very encouraging and knowledgeable which gave me confidence. 

The combination of a highly experienced staff, an onsite lab and located near my rehab center made the whole experience easier to manage and helped expedite my recovery.

I consider this a journey and feel grateful that I have met such a wonderful and experienced team at POSI.

In 2018 I had an arthroscopic knee surgery and developed a post-op fungal infection. Doctors tried a total knee replacement to remove the infected destroyed bone, it didn’t work, I had increased pain and decreased mobility after the surgery.  I opted for an above knee amputation in February 2019.

I struggled for 2 years with a prosthetic company that was not able to get the fit right. I began to question their expertise as I could not get back to doing things I use to do, also I was in a test socket for over 3 months which I have since learned is not at all safe for an above knee amputee.

One day at PT it was suggested I talk with a peer mentor with the same level of amputation, the peer mentor Rob suggested I give POSI a try as he thought I should be able to get back to weight lifting and exercising without a problem.  I was skeptical about changing companies, but I thought, what do I have to lose. It was the best decision I have made since my amputation.

Within 4 quick visits I was fit with a socket that was comfortable, did not cause pain and allowed me to get back to the lifestyle I was so missing.  The properly fitting socket made me realize the Ossur Rheo knee was a good fit for me, it was the poorly fitting socket that made my leg feel heavy not the knee.

My advice, you need to be your own advocate, not every practitioner is the same, and “nice” is not the same as “knowledgeable”.  Do your research, if you feel something is not right don’t be afraid to make a change.

POSI has been awesome and I am so thankful I made the change.

I had an amputation 6 years ago and worked with two prosthetic companies before coming to POSI.  During that time the sockets never fit properly, I got a wound from the socket that would not heal.  I came to POSI and met with Yuke Kee, she is professional, caring, knowledgeable and most importantly she made me a socket that fits comfortably and allowed my wound to heal.  My quality of life is so much better. POSI is a great company they take their time with patients to make sure they get it right the first time.

The staff at POSI has been exceptionally nice, beyond helpful and completely understanding of our needs, which is good because we’re not exactly sure what we need for Norman.  We both felt completely confident, comfortable and at ease when we left the office the other day.  We are looking forward to working with you all.

As the process went on, I had my mind made up that I was going to do this. The day arrived for my prosthetic leg diagnostic socket and I put it on and walked around like nothing was missing. Between POSI’s organization and my mental preparedness, we did it. Pam even videoed the event and put it on Youtube. I could walk again thanks to my prosthetic leg, a little different, but so what, I was walking! . . . Prosthetic Orthotic Solutions International puts the “POSI” in POSITIVE!!!

POSI has changed my life for the best! I am an active 16 years old male, who suffered from cancer at 13 years of age. I cannot be without my leg and POSI, having an on-site lab lets the team make changes while I wait, so I always go home on two feet. They listen to me and know what I am talking about. “No” and “I can’t” is not in their vocabulary. I am so thankful for POSI and their creativity which has allowed me to get back to playing sports and living life as I did before my amputation.

I have had such a great, positive experience with POSI! I was using a local prosthetist and was happy at the time because I didn’t know someone could do any better. One day an associate from rehab met me in the parking lot and told me about a new prosthetist she was using, Kevin Towers at POSI. Kevin is 135 miles round trip from my house. Once I met Kevin and had my consult I was convinced it was worth the trip! He was willing to cast me and see what he could do even before committing. My gait changed immediately and I proceeded to have rehab and my life has changed! Kevin does not stop until he gets it right! The personal touch I receive at POSI is so nice to have! I never feel rushed and always feel like I am a part of all the decision making for my leg.

I am very grateful for the wonderful care that Kevin Towers, Cortney Oswald, and the entire POSI team has given me over the last nine years. Over and over again they have helped me cope – with heart, professionalism, skill, as well as cutting edge knowledge. They work together as an amazing team. Any adjustment I might need to my socket or other support, they have accommodated me. I am very pleased with the level of care that I have received, and plan to be a patient of theirs for a very long time. Kevin told me many years ago that his goal was for me to live a normal life and get back to doing what I love. POSI has helped this become a reality.

I recently received a New Empower foot manufactured by Ottobock which allows me tofunction much better. It allows me to have more mobility and the plantar flexion is excellentwhich allows me to have a more natural gait and less of a limp. When I walk in the Wawa oranywhere I no longer feel the stares of people that always look to see what is wrong with me.Although I had gotten used to those stares I do not like them. I feel more confident and am ableto function at a much better capacity. In addition, the battery life on the foot is much longerthan the prior version and I do not have to have an extra charger any longer. I can just carry theadditional battery and I am able to obtain almost 18 hours or more of battery life and this reallymakes my life easier. The Empower also gives me better mobility because it propels me as Iwalk and therefore my other leg is not suffering and carrying or making up for the missing limb.

Overall I am extremely satisfy with the results and the ability that I have to be functional to amuch higher degree than I ever was.

The best part of this is that I have been a client of POSI since my accident in 2007, and I amextremely grateful to everyone, in particular Kevin Barnes and Kevin Towers, for of their helpand assistance during these many years. Particularly now, because I am certain that every timeI walk into their facility I know that they care about my well-being and I am extremely gratefulfor that.

It isn’t every day that I write a testimonial. POSI (Prosthetic Orthotic Solutions International, in Marlton, New Jersey) just massively improved the quality of my life. No more pain, no more swelling, no more skin irritations that never seem to go away. I can walk again.

As a double, below the knee amputee, I struggled for years with bad fitting legs until I found Kevin Towers at POSI. It’s true that there is a science to fitting an amputee with a prosthesis, but there is also an art to it and Kevin is an artist. He took great time and patience in his approach, ensuring the hand-casting method was performed with exacting skill, resulting in a perfect fit.

The real test for me is the fact that much of the time, I don’t even think about my new prosthetics. I actually forget that I’m wearing them.

If you are having issues with your socket fit, you don’t have to suffer anymore.

You should know that the professionals at POSI are also very warm and friendly. You owe it to yourself or your loved ones, to contact POSI today. Your life will change for the better and you’ll be so happy you did.

I was referred to POSI by my hand surgeon in October of 2015. After meeting Kevin Barnes I had a positive outlook. His caring and knowledge of what would work best for me was very helpful. The 75 minute drive from Delaware to the Marlton New Jersey office was well worth the trip my wife and I took for several appointments.

Blood clots from my heart traveled down my right arm to my hand which caused an amputation from below the elbow to my hand. As a senior I wasn’t sure I could adapt to such a change. I was worried as to whether I could resume my normal activities which were cooking and shopping for my family.

Amazingly with Kevin’s help I am now able to cook again. I feel useful and proud of myself and the journey was not as long as I once thought. I am very thankful to POSI and its staff for this prosthetic hand.
