Module Three
Prosthetic Training (Transradial and Hybrid)
Contact Hour Cost: $65
Contact Hour: 5.5 ABC / 5.5 AOTA
This course transitions you from virtually training your upper limb loss/deficient patient to actual component training and bi-manual functional skills with a transradial or hybrid prosthesis. Prosthetic treatment begins with controls training, then moves to repetitive drills using different therapeutic activities, and finally on to bi-manual functional task training in a logical sequence. After completion of this module, you will understand the importance of prosthetic training to assist with better outcomes.

Prosthetic Training DynamicArm (Electric Elbow)
Contact Hour Cost: $50
Contact Hour: 3.5 ABC / 3.5 AOTA
With recent advancements in technology this course
transitions you from virtually training your upper limb loss/deficient patient
to controls training using an electric elbow, the DynamicArm. You will learn about a new biofeedback
software program called ElbowSoft, which will allow the prosthetist to program
the arm wirelessly. Prosthetic treatment
begins with controls training, then moves to repetitive drills using different
therapeutic activities, and finally on to bi-manual functional task training in
a logical sequence. After completion of
this module, you will understand the importance of prosthetic training to
assist with better outcomes when working with someone using an electric elbow.
