Virginia Prosthetics & Orthotics is proud to sponsor this Orthotic Bracing course to area Physical Therapists. The presentation includes dinner and is offered at no charge to participants. This seminar will cover orthotic bracing including AFOs, KAFOs, SCOs, and SSCOs. In addition, we will also discuss the C-Brace, the first microprocessor KAFO designed to provide a new level of safety and a more natural gait than ever before. The participants will gain understanding of what happens during gait cycle in relation to the orthoses, and how patients can activate the system they are wearing. The course will provide therapy suggestions for providing increased safety, stability, and activation of the systems according to patient needs and system requirements.
