Innovations in Design, Materials, and Training – Pathways to Individualised Prosthetic Treatment and Care
10:30 AM -
11:45 AM
Tue, 19 May
Short description
You will gain insight into current developments in individualised prosthetic treatment: How do design, material and user training interact when it comes to user-specific socket concepts for transfemoral amputations (“situational sockets”), thermoplastic liners as the key to precise residual limb treatment, and comparative results of active and passive microprocessor-controlled knee prostheses? In addition, you will learn about the significance of individual prosthetic-use training for functional and psychosocial rehabilitation, particularly in cases of arm amputation.
