With the growing momentum of the “So Everybody Can Move” initiative, sport-specific prostheses are increasingly accessible to individuals with amputations. Whether you’re an experienced clinician who has provided numerous sport-specific prostheses and wants to expand your knowledge or a practitioner unfamiliar with aligning and training these specialized devices, this session will provide essential insights. This session will focus on the considerations and nuances of aligning prostheses for high-impact activities and sports, and equip practitioners with valuable tools and resources to effectively train patients in using these devices.
