Small Errors, Big Impact: Understanding the Biomechanics of Transfemoral Prostheses
9:15 AM -
10:15 AM
Fri, 22 May
Short description
Small errors, big impact: Even small deviations in the alignment of an upper leg prosthesis can have major effects on gait, comfort, and long-term health. You will see live demonstrations with patients, identifying common fitting errors, their causes, and underlying issues. Questions addressed include: How do I determine the correct prosthesis length? When does the rotation between pelvis, knee, and prosthetic foot align properly? Is the socket flexion angle appropriate? Explore these topics interactively to ensure everything “runs” smoothly.
