Thanks to an overwhelming response to the OPGA MAS socket design seminars to
be held this fall on September 10-11 and November 12-13, we have had to add
a third seminar! The September 10-11 seminar is now completely full, and
the November 12-13 seminar only has one spot available. Therefore, we have
scheduled a third seminar for September 7-8, 2004. We have had over 100
interested parties expressing interest in this outstanding, innovative
socket design and fully expect this additional seminar to fill up as well,
so please call today and reserve your spot.
Following is some general information regarding the course:
Recently, OPGA has teamed with Marlo Ortiz, creator of the Marlo Ortiz
Anatomical Socket (M.A.S.) in order to make available this outstanding new
socket design to the O&P profession on a wide-scale basis. An initial
course was hosted in January by OPGA and O&P1 in Waterloo, IA. It was
taught by Marlo Ortiz, and attendees included John Michael, CPO from CPO
Services, Inc., Andy Steele, CPO from O&P1, Agnes Curran, CP from OPGA, Brad
Rosenberger, CPO and Randy Brown, CP from Nebraska O&P Services, Bob
Tillges, CPO from Tillges Certified P&O, and Matt Hutchings, CP from Clark &
Associates. Dennis Clark, CPO attended the planning session immediately
following the course. The course was an overwhelming success and all
attendees agreed that the O&P profession and many transfemoral patients
would benefit greatly from this new socket design.
Two separate tiers will be offered for prospective attendees. 1.)
Hands-on course, which will include patient casting, modifications, and
fitting of two test sockets, and 2.) Observers which will be able to
observe the patient aspects of the seminar and participate in all classroom
lectures.
For those of you not familiar with the M.A.S. socket, it is a revolutionary
new socket design created and patented by Marlo Ortiz from Guadalajara, MX.
Marlo and his socket design were featured at the AAOP National Meeting in
the Thranhardt lecture series and generated significant interest amongst the
attending practioners. To read more about the socket design, read a recent
