What is the future of prosthetic knees?
An Internet debate with experts in the field<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office />

For the past 2-3 weeks we have been carrying out an online survey of the
experiences of prosthetists, clinicians and other medical professionals with
regards to current prosthetic knee joints. We have had a good response to
the survey - thanks to all of you who responded - and we will be discussing
some of the main issues arising from it during a text chat internet
discussion next week.

Experts from the field of prosthetic knee joints will participate including
Saeed Zahedi previously of Blatchford Endolite who was responsible for the
development of the Intelligent Prosthesis and the application of
biomechanics in design of knees. We also plan to invite other experts in
clinical rehabilitation, prosthetists and physiotherapists.

There will be two opportunities to take part in the initial discussion to
allow people from different parts of the world to participate. The
preliminary dates are:

Date: Thursday 6th Februrary

Time: 15:30 to 18:00 GMT/UTC

and

Date: Friday 7th February

Time: 07:30 to 09:30 GMT/UTC

To receive the web address (URL) along with a username, please email Saeed
Zahedi on <Email Address Redacted> and state on which date(s) you would like to
participate.

In this way we may all be able to discuss some of the findings and express
views which may enable us to enhance our understanding of current needs and
how we can satisfy the requirements of future. I look forward to your
participation.

 Yours faithfully,

 Saeed Zahedi
