Good morning List served,
I would like to thank those individuals for their interesting responses to the below inquiry. First and foremost as a fellow beleaguered O&P clinical practitioner, I am deeply moved by the energy, dedication and enthusiasm demonstrated in the responses. It's reassuring to know that O&P is populated by such a caliber of professional colleagues.
Topics that were brought up by the respondents include the use of outcome measurements, application of advanced technologies with an emphases on semi-autonomous micro-processing mechanical kinematics, expansion of the O&P knowledge base and direct O&P clinical involvement of wholesale manufactures and allied health professionals. I would also like to thank Daniel Heitzmann for providing a link to compendia, a reviewed paper and a poster abstract that briefly explains how applied mechanical engineering might positively influence active and voluntary or enactive and volitional control and manipulation strategies of the extracorporeal orthotics, prosthetics and robotics device. ( <URL Redacted> ). If you are interested, I recommend that the poster abstract be reviewed first and then the first compendium.
Enactive and volitional control and manipulation of mechanical extracorporeal devices can best be demonstrated with empathy training by the attending clinical prosthetist using low profile prosthetic feet attached to lower limb post acute fracture braces or boots. This mode of empathy training is inexpensive and effective in helping interested parties understand and appreciate the greater value to clinical O&P and Robotics technological intervention. Interesting, the attending prosthetists can initially practice empathy training on themselves using this mechanical kinematic device. It's quite an eye opener to experience somatosensory and proprioception in the prosthetic foot itself rather than the receptor mediation modality being substituted and reveals a whole new dimension to physical rehabilitation science. If the O&P profession doesn't take the initiative in demonstrating this seemingly critical area of physical rehabilitation, some other professional group eventually will.
I look forward to your thoughts and comments,
Michael Wilson LP/CPO

I my opinion, these physical measurements influence the potential in O&P and robotics applied technological science and have an immediate and positive social, political and economical effect on both private and institutional O&P and robotics clinical practice. This influence is easily experienced and demonstrated and can be a useful tool in promoting your professional and business interests.
