Description
This presentation is one component of the Academy Certificate Program for Professional Development in Prosthetic Foot/Ankle Mechanisms based on the Academy Prosthetic Foot/Ankle Mechanism State-of-the-Science Conference held in Dallas, Texas in April 2005. It provides an opportunity to review the panel presentations and discussions held at the conference that explored how existing prosthetic foot and ankle research impacts clinical practice. Join conference co-chair Don Cummings, CP as he reviews the information and panel discussions from the State-of-the-Science Conference. In addition to the effects of research on clinical practice, background information is provided. Topics covered during this course include a review of the literature analysis, biomechanics, rationale & prescriptions, mechanical analysis, and a discussion of the future research objectives determined during the consensus conference.
