MORNING SESSION
A. Locomotion and Gait Overview
An in-depth overview of patients with category 2 through 4 ambulatory levels
and how component selection affects gait. Comparisons of anatomical range of
motion compared to prosthetic feet, knees and hip componentry substitution.
Practioners will have the opportunity to integrate various products into a
limb system to demonstrate effects of component selection.
B. Cadence and Catalyst High Performance Foot Workshop
Hands on workshop that focuses on static and dynamic alignment of Seattle
K3/K4 feet. The advantages of significant ankle range of motion will be
demonstrated and discussed in terms of patient needs.
C. Carbon Hip Strut System
Discussion of the Littig Hip Strut system including selection of the dynamic
pylon, fabrication and set up techniques in the Littig Carbon hip system
used for hip disarticulation amputees.
D. Cosmetic Finishing of Prostheses
Review of cosmetic covering systems for the Trulife product lineup. Session
includes hands on demonstration of the Seattle Exoskeletal Cover.
AFTERNOON SESSION
E. Selecting a Microprocessor Knee Based on Patient Needs
Discussion on selecting a Microprocessor knee based on desired patient
outcomes.
Microprocessor knee functions will be discussed and demonstrated, including
programming of onboard microprocessor.
F. Setting Common Swing Phase Control Functions and Programming of
Microprocessor Knees
Demonstrations will allow the practitioner to program the controller while
watching the effects of the adjustments until the appropriate settings are
achieved.
G. Static and Dynamic Alignment Settings for Stability
Load brake, hydraulic stance and terminal impacts settings will be described
and demonstrated on the Seattle Power Microprocessor Knees, Single Axis SPK
700, Four-bar SPK750 and the New Fusion SPK 760 with MRS system.
H. Reviewing Stance Control to Assure Patient Stability
Weight activated load brake, four bar stability and hydraulic flexion
yielding are the stance mechanisms of the different knees and will be discussed to
allow the practitioner to provide the most appropriate component.
