Northwestern University Flexible Sub-ischial Socket Course, April 17-18, 2020, hosted by Ossur Academy
Learn how to create a comfortable sub-ischial socket for persons with transfemoral amputation.
This two-day course provides an introduction to sub-ischial socket technology and the development of the NU-FlexSIV Socket technique. You will learn about patient and liner selection and participate in hands-on casting, rectification, fabrication and fitting of a sub-ischial check socket. Course content covers both passive suction and vacuum versions of the socket. Information about socket materials and construction as well as helpful tips for successful outcomes are provided.
This is a hands-on course presented by the developers of the NU FlexSIV Socket, Ryan Caldwell, CP, FAAOP and Stefania Fatone, PhD. Together, they have successfully trained 300 clinicians worldwide, with ongoing high demand for this technique.
Participation in the course is limited to ensure attendees obtain maximum benefit during discussions, demonstrations and hands-on fittings. Participants must bring a patient model to work with during the course.
The course has been approved for 15.5 continuing education credits by the American Board for Certification in Prosthetics, Orthotics.
