Below-Knee Prosthetics (Transtibial Prosthesis)
Custom-Fit Comfort. Confident Mobility. Designed Around You
Custom-Fit Comfort. Confident Mobility. Designed Around You.
Losing part of your lower limb changes how you move — but it doesn’t change who you are or what you’re capable of. A below-knee prosthetic (also known as a transtibial prosthesis) is designed to restore natural walking mechanics, improve balance, and help you return to the activities that matter most.
At Progressive O&P, every below-knee prosthesis is custom fabricated in-house for precision fit, durability, and long-term comfort. From your first consultation through final fitting and follow-up care, our team works closely with you, your physician, and your therapist to ensure the best possible outcome.

Patients across Long Island trust Progressive O&P for:
- Greater stability & balance
- More natural walking patterns
- Improved energy efficiency
- Faster rehabilitation timelines
With the right socket design, suspension system, and prosthetic foot technology, many patients return to work, sports, travel, and active daily living with confidence.
Our Custom Approach to Below-Knee Prosthetics
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
