Dear Colleagues,
Walter Reed Army Medical Center is in the process of producing a
noncommercial publication specific to the young active traumatic amputee returning for
rehabilitation from the war in Irag. The publication will not be copywritten and
will be made available via the Internet as a PDF file.
At the present time volunteer authors and writers are needed from the
professional O&P community to write a section of the publication that deals with the
use and care of stump socks for volume control to include the use and care of
gel liners as a socket interface and/or suspension system.
The Walter Reed amputee rehabilitation program has changed from wars past in
that with the new technologies now available in prosthetics their goal is to
return the service man or woman to active duty to complete their military
careers.
If you are willing to volunteer your time and expertise to help our GIs
coming home from Iraq please contact me my private e-mail.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
