Prosthetics at East Coast O&P
Before we begin to customize an artificial limb, we spend time getting to know our patients and considering several variables, including our patient’s lifestyle, level of activity and personal goals, as well as the comfort, function, durability and cosmetic appearance of the prosthesis.
Our goal is to provide our patients with more than just a device to walk or move with, we provide them with the chance to regain their independence following their amputation. At East Coast Orthotic and Prosthetic Corporation our care for the patient is second to none, and we work hard to make this difficult transition as easy and comfortable for the patient as possible.

The Prosthetic Process
1. Evaluation & Casting
We gather your medical history and lifestyle goals, then use advanced scanning or casting to create a precise model of your residual limb.
2. Diagnostic Test Socket
A clear diagnostic socket is fitted to verify pressure points, volume, and alignment. This crucial step ensures total comfort before final fabrication.
3. Dynamic Alignment
We fine-tune the prosthesis while you walk, adjusting angles and height to optimize your gait and energy efficiency.
4. Final Delivery & Training
Your finished, custom prosthesis is delivered. We provide gait training and ongoing care to help you regain your independence.

The Next Step
The Next Step program gives a new amputee the opportunity to speak with someone who has experienced losing a limb and has already been through the prosthetic process. Learn how to take that first step toward reaching your goals.
About The Next Step
Several of our current prosthetic patients have volunteered to be Patient Peers for The Next Step program. Patient Peers are a diverse group of people who have experienced amputation at various levels including below knee, above knee, bilateral, above elbow, and below elbow.
Each of them became an amputee for a different reason whether it was a traumatic accident, the result of a long illness such as diabetes, or as a last resort after multiple surgeries had failed.
There are some Patient Peers who have recently lost a limb, and some who have been amputees for several years. You are sure to meet a Peer with a situation similar to your own.
Our Patient Peers are willing to share their story with you, answer your questions honestly, listen to your concerns, and give you an amputee’s point of view of what to expect next along your prosthetic journey.

Prosthetic Production with Advance Technology
CAD/CAM Solutions & Systems
What once took hours or days now takes just minutes. Our CAD/CAM Solutions & Systems allows us to offer same-day delivery on custom-molded spinal braces. All data is transmitted and stored digitally allowing us to easily reproduce exact replicas of orthotics or prosthetics, or make minor modifications to models without having to retrace the patient each time.
M4D Scan
M4D Scan is a part of our newest CAD/CAM solution. It is fast, light and portable. It allows us to make quick, accurate and painless acquisitions /scans of our patients whether they are onsite and offsite. It takes only 40 seconds to scan a foot and 90 seconds to scan a torso or a leg. M4D Scan integrates with Rodin4D, a software application that we use to make modifications to CAD files prior to importing them to ARPP.
Rodin4D
Rodin4D is a part of our newest CAD/CAM solution. It also allows us to modify scanned forms (STL and AOP) in real-time. It is designed for orthoprosthetists and allows us to freely carry out rectification of 3D digital forms for orthopaedic devices as desired.
ORTIS Robotic System
Our ORTIS robotic system is a part of our newest CAD/CAM solution. With the ORTIS we can produce any kind of models for the production of tailored prosthesis and orthosis: from AFO and KAFOs to AK and BK sockets. It has 7-axis points allowing us to produce braces for adults in as a single piece. The Ortis fully integrates with ARPP and Flexremote.
MedicoSoft
MedicoSoft is a software application that allows us to make rapid custom modifications to CAD models. It also allows us to trim, bend, align, rotate and extend CAD models in real time. MedicoSoft integrates our AutoFormer where we are able to save to Stereo Lithography (STL) formats/file types and export to CNC Milling.
AutoFormer
Our AutoFormer is the only system in the New York Tri-State area that is provided by Medico. It fully integrates with MedicoSoft, a software application that allows us to modify CAD models in real time. With the MedicoSoft we are able to export to Stereo Lithography (STL) formats to the AutoFormer for CNC Milling. In minutes, the AutoFormer can carve a full-size foam model of the our patient’s limb or torso, accurate to within 1/1000 of an inch.
