Learning Objectives
- Summarize various surgical procedures, such as targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) and osseointegration (OI) have evolved and impacted patient care and outcomes.
- Translate insights into how technological advancements in prosthetic design, from passive to myoelectric devices have improved patient outcomes and expanded prosthesis options.
- Implement the collection and analysis of patient outcomes data can enhance the understanding of individual needs and preferences, leading to more personalized and effective prosthetic care.
Course Description
Upper Limb Prosthetics - Past, Present, and Future of Upper Limb Prosthetic Care (AM2025-OS16)
This session will discuss the evolution of upper limb prosthetic care including the impact that changing surgical techniques and advances in prosthetic technology have had on patient outcomes and individual decision making. We will discuss current literature focusing on prosthetic care practices and how they are optimizing patient outcomes. We will close the session discussing current projects that may help guide the shared clinical decision-making processes when working with this population.
