Dear Colleagues,
The Northwestern University Prosthetics Research Laboratory (NUPRL) &
Rehabilitation Engineering Research Program (RERP) wants to know what you
think about the current status of P&O research, and where you believe that
research efforts need to be directed in the future. We would like to
solicit opinion regarding research needs in P&O from those involved in the
P&O field (prosthetists, orthotists, technicians, P&O users, researchers,
therapists) via an online survey and forum. You can choose to participate
in both or only one of these activities.
The survey is brief and will only take a short amount of time to complete.
It can be found at:
<URL Redacted>
The survey must be completed by December 30, 2005.
The forum provides for ongoing discussion, so please feel free to check in
frequently to contribute to ongoing dialogue or to create a new discussion.
The link to the forum is:

To participate in the forum, you will need to register. The forum will run
from November 21, 2005 to January 15, 2006.
We will hold a State of the Science (SOS) Conference early next year to
assess the current state of P&O research and to identify clinically-relevant
topics that should be the focus of research endeavors over the next 5-10
years. We will also be presenting a symposium during next year's AAOP
annual meeting (March 1-4, 2006 in Chicago) to disseminate the key
recommendations from our SOS Conference, survey and forum, and we will open
the floor to public opinion at that time.
We appreciate your time and effort in assisting us with this endeavor.
Sincerely,
Steven Gard, PhD
Director, NUPRL & RERP

P.S.-Please feel free to forward this email message to colleagues who you
think would be interested in contributing.
