Daily Course Instruction Sample
Day 1: Participants are introduced to the classroom and will meet our invited amputee models. They will work on casting limbs and preparing molds in our lab for the socket build. Come dressed to cast and work in the lab. Our team of fabricators will prepare the test sockets overnight. Instruction covers casting best practices and an overview of Motion Control products and TASKA.
Day 2: After classroom instruction on MC terminal devices, the U3 Arm, new Motion Arm, and integrating COAPT systems, sockets will be returned to participants to begin preparing for the model fittings on Day 3.
Day 3: Amputee models return for fitting and testing. Additional classroom instruction takes place in the afternoon, along with a troubleshooting discussion from the fitting.
