Socket Fitting Techniques: Pioneering Custom Liner Approach
Kurt Collier, CP

   This outcomes-oriented session focuses on the experiences of
   both clinicians and amputees who have benefited by incorporating
   this new custom liner into their prosthetic limbs.

Clinical Application of the Iceross Seal-In Liner
Ian Fothergill, prosthetist/orthotist, UK

   Iceross Seal-In Liners are widely-used, but do you know which
   patients are ideal candidates to use them? This presentation
   is a crash-course on patient selection, practical fitting and
   socket assessment procedures for this prosthetic liner.

**************
Management of the Syme's Amputee
Gerald Stark, CP, FAAOP

   The design of prosthetic feet can make a difference in both
   comfort and quality of life for the amputee. Learn about
   the advantages of the Symes prostheses and how to optimize
   this device to achieve the best fit.


**************
A Clinical Tool to Justify and Validate Prosthetic Functional Levels
Dale Barry, CP, FAAOP

   Patient evaluations are key to determining if the patient
   is matched with the appropriate O&P device. Learn how to apply
   EVAS (Evaluation, Validation, Assessment Score) and use this
   information to communicate effectively with physicians, referrals
   and paying agencies.

**************
A New Solution for Prosthetic Alignment
Louis Haberman, CPO

   A new titanium, modular-alignment device has been created and
   tested on various amputee levels. Find out the results of this
