  Artificial Intelligence becomes a reality in OKC
“It’s not just a new product - it’s a new way of life for amputees.”

An Oklahoma-based company, Scott Sabolich Prosthetics and Research is honored to become one of the first prosthetic company to offer the first-ever artificially intelligent ankle/foot for below-knee amputees, the Proprio Foot™.  Below-knee amputee and prosthetist, Theron Hogue CP, LP, states, “ Being selected to be the first amputee in Oklahoma to wear this ankle feels great. In just a few steps it makes me feel more normal again.” The Proprio Foot™ replaces muscle function that was lost with the amputation, and enables amputees to perform activities on different terrains, instantly detecting changes in any surface.

 Designed and engineered by Ossur North America, the Proprio Foot™ provides amputees with natural, anatomical functioning. This relationship between Scott Sabolich Prosthetics and Research and Ossur North America  now brings Artificial Intelligence to the everyday amputee.

Scott Sabolich, CP, LP, owner and clinical director of Scott Sabolich Prosthetics and Research said, “ This new ankle isn’t just a new product - it’s a new way of life for amputees. We are now able to deliver artificial intelligence to all of our patients.”

With a limited launch of the Proprio Foot™, the world of prosthetics will have entered a new era: the age of advanced bionic technology. Artificial Intelligence perceived in such movies as AI: Artificial Intelligence, featuring Jude Law, and I, Robot, with Will Smith, is now a reality.

William Ethridge LP, reports, “30 years ago prosthetists were working with wooden knees. Now we are using computerized knees and artificially intelligent ankles. Who knows what the future will hold? I just know it will be state-of- the-art and will carry a ‘wow effect’!”

Ossur North America, a worldwide organization, based in Iceland, prides itself on advancements that make life easier for people with limitations. Scott Sabolich Prosthetics & Research is world-renowned for delivering excellence in patient care and techonological breakthroughs in prosthetics.
