WillowWood One System
Initiated through a Veterans Administration grant to develop a new socket system for transfemoral amputees that was comfortable, controlled pistoning, reduced sweating, allowed for a comfortable walking gait and monitored and responded to activity levels of the wearer, it is also now suitable for transtibial amputees as well. LimbLogic’s Adaptive Mode automatically switches to lower vacuum level when amputee is resting.
LimbLogic can be controlled from an iPhone or iPad.
Ottobock EMS System
Patented Multi-Surfaced Flexible Inner Socket System – “Engineered for Comfort ™”
Enhanced patient fit and control · 400% increased linkage between residual limb and prosthesis · Improved control of prosthesis through all phases of ambulation in both weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing activities · Enhanced proprioception and spatial awareness for improved balance and stability · 100% increased surface area for weight-bearing, resulting in unprecedented pressure distribution and shear force management Volume management · Patented vacuum socket environment reduces volume fluctuations and improves moisture control by maintaining a constant and more uniform pressure system. Additional Benefits · Lower rigid socket trim lines for increased range of motion. · Reduced wear on sleeve due to soft inner socket material and lower rigid socket.
For patients with: Short limbs, Afibula limbs, Insufficient surface area, Adherent scars, Cylindrical shaped limbs, Neuromas, Tapered limbs, Bone scarring, Excessive redundant tissue, Uneven terrain mobility.
NEW Ottobock C-Leg 4 Above Knee Prosthetic Leg w/ Microprocessor Knee
Intuitive Stance, the patented Inertial Motion Unit and 3D Motion Analysis are tangible ways the C-Leg 4 delivers enhanced stumble recovery and improvements in stance and swing phase control. Redesigned software greatly shortens the fitting process, and the unique Cockpit smartphone app gives patients a simple way to switch modes and check battery life.
Intuitive Stance recognizes when you have stopped moving and dampens the knee in a slightly flexed position. This makes standing more comfortable and less tiring even on uneven surfaces, ramps, and slopes. This feature is sophisticated, adjusting and readjusting with every step in real time.
Since your motion occurs in three dimensions, the C-Leg 4 uses sophisticated sensors to determine where it is in space at all times and to make precise adjustments at every moment of every step. As a result, C-Leg 4 lets you easily navigate ramps, stairs, and nearly every type of challenging surface – even when walking backwards.
With two additional MyModes, your Prosthetist can set up the knee to help make activities like biking, dancing, or golfing easier. Switching modes is simple, you can use the the Cockpit app. Sunshine Prosthetics and Orthotics Certified Prosthetist is trained to fit and customize this new device.

Ottobock C-Leg Above-The-Knee Prosthetic Leg
- Stop worrying about falls – Its sensors recognize when you’re in an insecure position, and during a trip or stumble, the C-Leg increases resistance to provide the support you need to recover before you fall. You can speed up, slow down, and go down stairs step over step with the assurance that the C-Leg is there for you.
- Multiple modes for multiple activities – two activity modes, set by your prosthetist at Sunshine Prosthetics and Orthotics at your request. You can program for your most common activities, such as specific job tasks or riding a bike
C-Leg’s standing mode gives you support with your knee flexed between 7º and 70º. Just by having that flex, you’ll find you use less energy while standing. Washing dishes or standing in line is suddenly more comfortable. For more information on the C-Leg and the C-Leg X3, which is suitable for water sports, visit Ottobock US website.
NEW : PowerFoot bionic ankle system by iWalk, Inc. (BiOM)
Sunshine Prosthetics and Orthotics is the only center for this personal bionic system in northern New Jersey. We are certified and trained by BiOM to customize this unit to the patient’s specific muscle and tendon needs.
The BiOM T2 System provides natural Bionic Propulsion. The device replaces the function of the individual’s lost muscle and tendon anatomy and provides more energy than it stores. (Photos courtesy of BiOM.)
- Easily change walking speed
- Stand and walk with more confidence and sense of stability
- Walk, run, hike on varying terrains including hills and stairs
Ossur Symbionic® Leg
SYMBIONIC® LEG is the first integrated prosthesis that combines a microprocessor knee and powered microprocessor ankle with proactive ankle flexion. SYMBIONIC® LEG was designed to enable users to experience greater safety, symmetry and confidence when walking, without needing to adapt their walking style or otherwise compensate for their prosthesis.
Ossur RHEO® Knee 3
Sunshine Prosthetics and Orthotics is the only prosthetist in North NJ certified for the RHEO KNEE 3 device. The RHEO KNEE 3 provides the most natural knee function among all microprocessor knees because it continuously adapts to the user and the environment while providing perfect balance of stability and dynamics.
- Effortless swing initiation enables a smoother gait, even in crowds and confined spaces
- Advanced actuator and resistance control ensure best possible resistance, e.g. more support in stair descent and minimum effort needed in level ground gait
- Constant power spring provides natural progression in swing
- Five-sensor gait detection, including new gyroscope technology, ensures stability and dynamic response in every situation
- Magnetorheologic technology enables an instant response so that users never have to wait for the knee to catch up with them
Freedom Innovations- Renegade® Foot
Patented Z-Shock Technology in the Renegade® foot is engineered to deliver a smooth gait at any speed, resulting in a comfortable walking foot that can also stand up to high impact forces. All-carbon z-shaped heel is durable and maintenance free. Less than 1/3 the weight of traditional shock foot products, reducing socket pistoning and fatigue
Endolite élan foot
Light, high-strength prosthetic designs focusing on the use of carbon fiber composite materials and smart electronics to provide sophisticated and practical solutions to the needs of lower limb amputees.
Alternative Prosthetic Services
Alternative Prosthetic Services is an on-site restoration service providing custom form-fitting silicone rubber prostheses for a variety of amputations. The prostheses that they create are highly realistic in appearance, replicating each patient’s unique skin texture, color, and anatomy.
