Ahoy,

Our cohort has had an eventful month since returning from break! We started with upper extremity orthotics, moved on to lower extremity orthotics, and had some pirate themed fun in the meantime!

Hello Everyone,

Since our last update, our cohort has made great strides as we’ve completed coursework on introductory lab skills, clinical techniques, and the beginnings of gait analysis.

This semester has been full of new experiences for the Bakers Dozen. We’ve continued building on our skills through new classes, labs, guest presentations, and professional opportunities.

Hello Everyone,

The Handful have continued our curriculum at IIOP and started to get involved in the community through volunteering and fun events!

Since completing anatomy and physiology, we’ve deepened our knowledge by digging into the specifics of neuroanatomy and beginning to learn the various pathologies that we will encounter with patients as professionals. This clinically relevant work included conditions such as Parkinson’s, Cerebral Palsy, Spinal Cord injuries, Fractures, Pediatric, and many other conditions!

This semester for Baker’s Dozen has been an exciting deep dive into lower limb prosthetics and orthotics. One of the highlights has been fabricating both Total Surface Bearing (TSB) and Patellar Tendon Bearing (PTB) test sockets for our patient models. Having real patient models to work with made the learning experience so much more meaningful. Being able to…

Over the past couple of months, the VIP 33 have been hard at work expanding our clinical skill set with upper limb prosthetics, lower limb orthotics, and transfemoral prosthetics. We began our upper limb journey by covering trans radial and trans humeral prostheses in a single class. There, we learned to properly fit harnesses and assemble…
