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.
