We are offering two seminars consisting of two days each that will cover the
latest in transfemoral socket design and fitting techniques. These programs
will consist of lecture and demonstration for all aspects of assessment,
measurement, casting, cast modification , fitting and fabrication of the IC
socket .
The first course on March 7th and 8th will be taught by Tim Staats a
nationally recognized and respected authority on Ichial containment sockets.
Tim is widely known for his contributions to the development of Ischial
containment sockets and his teaching background.
The second course is being offered on April 4th & 5th and is being taught by
Marlo Ortiz. Marlo is widely known for his new IC design that features a
lowered posterior shelf leading to greater range of motion and an improved
cosmetic appearance. Mr. Ortiz has presented his designs internationally
including the 2002 annual AAOP meeting in Orlando.
These courses together represent some of the best practices in Transfemoral
IC design. This is your opportunity to learn these varying techniques
