I have been presenting lectures on Upper Extremity Prosthetics to Occupational and Physical Therapy students for the past 20 years.I lecture to three different universities in the Milwaukee area, but present four times/year. I am now retired, but continue to enjoy helping educate students. I envision continuing to offer these lectures for at least another 5 years.
Every time I present a lecture, I must travel to my former employer to pick up samples and then travel back to drop them off. My former employer has been gracious enough to let me use their samples. However, there is no myoelectric sample available.
I would like to get my own set of Upper Extremity prosthetic samples to use for hands on demonstration during my lectures. If there are any facilities with extra samples, and they are willing to donate these to the education of Occupational and Physical Therapy students, I would appreciate you passing them onto me.
I am specifically looking for:1. Body powered BE (with harness)2. Passive BE3. Body powered AE (with harness)4. Myo BE; preferably one that is functional. It can be with an older style myo hand, but I would also need a battery charger to go with it.5. Sample terminal devices
6. an old myo tester; or Myoboy, to demonstrate a myo testing*request all samples be in fair to good condition
I understand most of us don't have very many samples, since many families rarely turn in upper extremity prosthesis from their deceased relatives. We always had lower extremity prosthesis being turned back in, and would always disassemble the components to pass onto organizations such as ROMP.
Thanks in advance for any assistance available.
