Prosthetic Symposium: Transtibial and Transfemoral Gait Deviations and Assessments

This two hour introductory presentation is a must for healthcare and rehabilitation professionals who work with or care for prosthetic patients. The presentation discusses whether a prosthetic gait deviation is caused by an alignment problem with a prostesis, a poor gait habit adoped by the amputee, or a muscular/joint weakness that can be correced by strengthening exercises. Attendees will learn how to identify the more common gait deviations for transfemoral and transtibial amputees and will review their causes, effects, and corrections. The presentation will feature digital video examples of the gait deviations as well as demonstratins of the methods of correcting the challenge.
