THE QUICK “WHY”

Yesterday’s science fiction is quickly becoming today’s science fact in the exciting world of limb loss rehabilitation and restoration. Attendees are invited to participate in this full-day multi-disciplinary exploration of the current paradigms and innovations shaping clinical care for limb loss.

There are focused professional education courses on strokes, brain injury, musculoskeletal issues, but not for amputees. ACRM is the only organization offering training specific to the limb loss population. —Daniel J. Le, PT, DPT, GCS, COMT

PRESENTER’S STATEMENT:  If you have an interest in limb loss rehabilitation, then this is the course for you to learn more about the current paradigms and innovations shaping clinical care for limb loss. Presenters from various disciplines will assist you in viewing this field through multiple lenses, with the goal of guiding you toward incorporating a holistic approach to limb loss rehabilitation with your care team. —Prateek Grover, MD, PhD

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Medical Doctors, prosthetists, pain management specialists, physical therapists, rehabilitation nurses, occupational therapists, speech therapists are all encouraged to attend. 

This course will also appeal to consumers — patients, their families and caregivers, too.

The presenters are from various disciplines and who are well-equipped to gear this session toward a multidisciplinary audience — including physiatrists, surgeons, pain specialists, primary care physicians, rehabilitation therapists, social workers, nurses, prosthetists, researchers, and more.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

“Osseointegration, targeted muscle reinnervation, micro-processor controlled powered knees and ankles.” What used to be reserved for science fiction is now a reality in the exciting world of limb loss rehabilitation and restoration. Attendees are invited to participate in this full-day exploration of the innovations and trends currently changing the way healthcare practitioners’ practice. A multi-disciplinary team of physiatrists, surgeons, pain specialists, rehabilitation therapists, and prosthetists will guide attendees on a trip through all of the exciting changes that are happening, and educate attendees on how to properly document, rehabilitate, and interpret the impact of these paradigm shifts. The course is open to all individuals with an interest in the care of persons with limb loss.
