What Prosthetic Orthotic Solutions International does

Prosthetic Orthotic Solutions International (POSI) is a privately held prosthetic care practice founded in June 2000 by certified prosthetists Kevin Towers and Jim Alaimo. The company designs, fabricates, and fits custom prosthetic limbs for amputees across the full spectrum of upper- and lower-extremity loss, including hip disarticulation, above-knee (transfemoral), below-knee (transtibial), bilateral lower-limb, Symes/ankle disarticulation, finger/digit, partial hand, below-elbow, above-elbow, and shoulder-level cases. POSI also offers osseointegration procedures for direct bone-anchored attachment and serves pediatric amputees and adaptive athletes as secondary segments.

The practice's core technical methodology is a hand-casting socket design process: plaster is applied to the residual limb to create a custom model, modified for an intimate fit, then advanced through transparent diagnostic test sockets to verify alignment before the definitive prosthesis is built. All fabrication is performed in-house at POSI's own laboratories, enabling same-day adjustments during patient appointments — a deliberate contrast with practices that outsource to external fabrication labs. The practice is credentialed by Ossur (Touch Bionics, I-Limb, Rheo Knee, Plie 3, Talux, Seal-In liners) and Otto Bock (Bebionic, Michelangelo, Empower, Power Knee) to fit advanced microprocessor-controlled knees, powered ankles, and myoelectric hands, and offers multiple suspension options (pin-lock, suction, elevated vacuum, shuttle-lock, anatomical, lanyard).

POSI generates revenue through hardware sales of custom prosthetic devices and fitting services, billed primarily through Medicare, Workers' Compensation, auto insurance, and most commercial health plans; a financial counselor supports patient coverage navigation. Distribution is clinic-based, with two physical locations (Marlton, NJ headquarters; Horsham, PA regional site) serving the New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware tri-state area. Patient acquisition is sales-led and referral-driven: surgeon and physician referrals, physical therapist recommendations, hospital partnerships (notably Cooper Hospital, Kessler Rehabilitation, and Magee Rehabilitation), peer-to-peer recommendations through amputee support groups, and a formal Certified Peer Visitor program operated with the Amputee Coalition of America. The practice is founder-led, with no disclosed external investors or institutional ownership.

Core offering

Prosthetic Orthotic Solutions International (POSI) designs, fabricates, and fits custom prosthetic limbs for amputee patients using hand-casting methodology for socket design and in-house fabrication capabilities. The practice serves lower extremity amputees (hip disarticulation, above knee, below knee, bilateral, Symes) and upper extremity amputees (finger, partial hand, below elbow, above elbow, shoulder), offering advanced microprocessor components, multiple suspension systems, and osseointegration procedures from two clinic locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Product overview

Prosthetic Orthotic Solutions International (POSI) is a prosthetic and orthotic clinic offering a comprehensive portfolio of prosthetic solutions and related services. The company's core offerings span lower extremity prosthetics (hip disarticulation, above knee, below knee, bilateral lower limb, Symes/ankle disarticulation, and prosthetic feet) and upper extremity prosthetics (digit/finger, partial hand, below elbow, above elbow, and shoulder level prostheses). Supporting these are specialized services including osseointegration procedures, in-house fabrication capabilities, and a six-step fitting process. The company also offers prosthetic componentry and socket/suspension systems, utilizing advanced components from manufacturer partners Össur (including I-Limb, Rheo Knee, Plie 3, Talux foot, Seal-In liners) and Ottobock (Bebionic hand, Michelangelo, Empower foot, Power Knee). Suspension options include pin-lock, vacuum/elevated vacuum, and suction systems. As an outcome-based practice, POSI provides comprehensive care including peer mentorship programs, rehabilitation coordination, and patient education materials.
