Ottobock will be returning to Ortho Pro on October 20 and 21. This is a great opportunity to come in and test drive the new C-leg 4, Genium, Triton Smart Ankle and learn more about the amazing C-Brace, a KAFO with microprocessor technology. We encourage our patients and physical therapists to call the office now to join us for an informative and exciting day. Tuesday, October 20 will be held in our Kendall office and Wednesday, October 21 in our Aventura office so save the dates!

If you are a current prosthetic user but want to learn more for your next prosthesis, please join us. If you are a currently wearing a KAFO (SCI, Polio, CVA) you MAY be a great candidate for the new C-brace. Rehab Directors and PT's are encouraged to attend.  More information to follow, but reserve your spot today!
