GENERAL INFORMATION

Welcome to Boston and our 99th National Assembly

AOPA ANTI-TRUST COMPLIANCE POLICY

BOSTON HAS BEEN THE INSPIRATION for a revolution, the bringing together of a country and for being a beacon of light and hope in shaping the world around us. This year it will be the flashpoint for O&P’s coming of age as themes of the past and the present are woven into your experience over the next few days in “Lighting the Future” for you and your colleagues. A programming breakthrough will be a multidisciplinary forum involving MDs, physical therapists, O&P clinicians and patients drawing on the lessons learned in caring for the amputee survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing just three years ago. In fact this year’s clinical programming has more MDs and allied healthcare providers than ever before. It reflects the transition now underway from fee for service to a value based, patient driven and outcomes measured model, recognizing the best possible care demands a patient centered and collaborative approach. The 2016 Assembly’s Planning Committee chaired by Chris Nolan outdid themselves in devising innovative programming and revising traditional formats to reflect the changing landscape of O&P. To make sure you have ample time to survey the innovative products and service offerings of our supplier community, the schedule has more unopposed exhibit hours than ever before. Another first—Saturday’s Expo Day features special events, deals and door prizes. Our final day, Sunday, will be exclusively reserved for more clinical and business programming as exhibits close at 6 p.m. on Saturday. You and your colleagues will have ample opportunities to accumulate needed CEs with more than 35 CE credits available. Special events provide an expanded opportunity for networking with colleagues. The Thranhardt Golf Tournament is back for a Wednesday 1 p.m. tee time so golfers can fly in that morning. The tournament supports two great causes—the O&P Political Action Committee and the good works of the Orthotic and Prosthetic Activities Foundation. Thursday’s Welcome Reception begins at 5:45 p.m., Boston style with an AOPA cloned “Trail of Freedom” marking iconic locations that shaped our country’s history. Boston style also means a Friday sports themed Happy Hour in the exhibit hall at 5 p.m. livened up by you and your colleagues wearing your favorite sports team’s attire. The 6 p.m., Wine Tasting and Auction on Friday is more than just wine on auction. Not a wine aficionado? Well, there’s jewelry cigars, vacation offerings, bourbon and more enabling you to support the O&P PAC regardless of your taste inclinations. Another innovation is the Women’s Leadership Forum and Luncheon at Noon on Saturday and a separate Scoliosis Learning Lunch. Back by popular demand is the Alumni Connection, another great networking tool. Then the awards and competitions round out the excitement on Saturday morning at the Membership and Awards ceremony. You’ll be able to join in recognizing extraordinary leadership as Tom Watson, CP, receives the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Legislative Advocacy Awards spotlights three great O&P advocates—Ralph Nobbe, CPO, Scott Schneider, and James Young, Jr., CP, LP, FAAOP. The Otto and Lucille Becker and the Edwin and Kathryn Arbogast Awards will recognize the best orthotic and prosthetic abstracts, respectively, submitted by students and residents. All of this can be easily scheduled on the AOPA365 App downloaded to your smart phone. So join me in learning, connecting and enjoying the 99th Annual AOPA National Assembly. But, after 99 comes the 100th anniversary which we’ll celebrate in conjunction with the second AOPA hosted World Congress September 6-9, 2017, in Las Vegas. Hope to see you there.

“

This article is the first in a three-part series written by members of AOPA’s Operating Performance Committee focusing on the financial aspects of running an O&P facility. This month, we discuss how comparing your facility’s numbers to data provided in the AOPA Operating Performance Report can teach you to benchmark and identify areasCOVER of strength and areas of improvement for your facility.

impact on your business. So consider this example: How do you know if you are paying too much for the products? Sure, you can track your practice’s cost of goods and then compare those expenses to your revenue so that you find your cost of goods percentage. But what does that number mean? Is it good or is it bad? One good place to figure out the answers to some of these questions is the annually published AOPA Operating Performance Report, which aggregates self-reported data from AOPA members. This unique report presents a wide range of business data in many different formats to allow practice owners of all sizes to see how their own business compares to other practices in our field. By using the 2015 AOPA Operating Performance Report, you can begin to benchmark key financial metrics from your practice with those same details from more than 100 other O&P practices. As you compare these numbers,

bring data. —W. EDWARDS DEMING

VERY DAY, A NEW article about the importance of data in the healthcare world is highlighted in a medical journal, written up in an online article about the price of insurance company stocks, included in a newspaper article about the Affordable Care Act, or published in a report from the Office of the Inspector General. In the vast majority of these sources, there are repeated indications about how data is changing health care today and how the future for everyone in health care is dependent on data. All of these articles are exactly right about the rapidly growing importance of health-care data. You cannot underestimate the importance of focusing your practice on understanding the significance of data to the future success of your business, on deciding which systems to utilize to gather your data, and on making a serious commitment to gathering clean data. However, in their rush to highlight how data is changing the entire health-care field, the vast majority of these articles neglect to include the real value of this amazing new pool of knowledge that

is being created. At the end of the day, having good data is important, but the really important part of having data is using it. As an essential part of the medical profession, it is critical that the owners of O&P practices push themselves into the brave new world of health-care data. Yes, it’s a different way of managing your business, and yes, it will require you to stretch your brain. But this change in how you view your business through the eyes of data is possible, and there is a great tool to helping you make the transition to a user of data from your current role as an owner of a practice, as a clinician, or both. That unique tool is benchmarking. Benchmarking is the process of comparing one’s business processes and performance metrics to industry bests or best practices from other companies. What this means in real life is that benchmarks are a great way to make data more than just about the numbers and actually link the data to your everyday work. You connect the data to information that has an

benchmark – n. a standard of excellence, achievement, etc., against which similar things must be measured or judged COVER

look for the places where your financials have the biggest differences from the various data metrics, and then dig into your own financial data in these areas to figure out why your numbers are different. Just like that, you will be benchmarking and really using the data that everyone is talking about! Mark Ford is president of The OPIE Choice Network in Gainesville, Florida.

Access to a VR environment during treatment can help speed the rehabilitation process both physically and psychologically. The technology can be used to improve gait function, stability, and motor control; boost research and treatment protocols; conduct evaluations; and more. Because VR environments create conditions where patients can be tested and data collected to support the efficacy of O&P intervention, the technology may play a role in reimbursement as studies and trials are brought to the attention of payors. While the majority of the patients benefitting from VR-assisted rehabilitation are military patients, it is possible that practitioners at small facilities may help their civilian patients participate in clinical trials at facilities with VR systems. Future VR applications could include more realistic rehab scenarios and real-time feedback on gait parameters that allow online tuning and adjustment of orthoses and prostheses.

T SEEMS

YOU CAN’T look at the news these days without hearing of a data breach. Wendy’s, Target, Anthem, CareFirst, the Office of Personnel Management, eBay, Starbucks, and many more have all been casualties of expensive and well-publicized exposure of confidential data. While those scenarios may seem far removed from the world of O&P, it is very likely that a data breach could happen at your facility—or may even be happening without your knowledge. Understanding cybersecurity—and what you need to do to prevent and protect against data exposures—is an important responsibility for O&P business owners and managers. Nearly 90 percent of various sized health-care organizations and 60 percent of their business associates have experienced data breaches the past two years, according during to the “Sixth Annual Benchmark Study on Privacy & Security of Health-Care Data,” conducted by Ponemon Institute and sponsored by ID Experts. And 79 percent of health-care organizations experienced multiple data breaches (two or more) in that time period—up 20 percent since 2010. Looking specifically at 2016 data is even more troubling: During the first three months of this year, 3.5 million medical records were compromised, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Health-care businesses experienced nearly four data breaches per week during that time period. O&P ALMANAC | AUGUST 2016

MWB-1

Socket Selection Criteria and Alignment Considerations

Sponsor: ALPS Hampton (Sheraton Level 3) Prosthetists have come to adopt liners with pins and locking devices as their main stay suspension method for transtibial amputees. While this provided major improvements over previous suspension methods available, not all amputees have the proper tissue and limb configuration to be fitted with locking suspension. The stresses created at the distal end will cause skin and suspension problems in a good number of amputees. Additionally, the largest segment of the amputee population, more specifically geriatric and less functional individuals, often have difficulty in donning of a pin.

Driving Better Outcomes for Lower Mobility Amputees: A Comprehensive Approach to Addressing the Challenges of Lower Limb Amputees

Sponsor: Ottobock Jefferson (Sheraton Level 3) Providing better, more holistic choices for people who are less active is critical for improving quality of life and satisfaction with their prosthetic care. Taking time to really hear and resolve the issues less active amputees prioritize can help delay reductions in independence and confidence by offering more stability and access to a broader range of daily activities.

MWA-11

Beyond DAFO Basics: Brace Optimizations

Sponsor: Cascade DAFO Gardner A (Sheraton Level 3) This workshop is designed for practitioners experienced in dynamic lower-extremity bracing. Participants will discuss how to customize dynamic ankle foot orthoses (DAFOs) to address complex patient presentations. Working with video case studies, participants will explore a variety of brace styles and optimizations designed to achieve the best fit and functional outcome for each case. Learn how to systematically plan a bracing project adding specific details outside of the standard options. Active participation and lively discussion are encouraged with the goal of adding knowledge and skills that will lead to designing the best brace possible for every patient.

Full-Time Orthotic Intervention for Non-Operative Scoliosis Treatment

Sponsor: Spinal Technology Inc. Republic A (Sheraton Level 2) This program addresses the basic elements and case studies involved with full time orthotic intervention in the diagnosis and clinical treatment of adolescent idiopathic, juvenile, congenital and neuromuscular scoliosis. Understand and become knowledgeable about the types of diagnoses, intervention, treatment standards and goals associated with full time bracing to assist in ceasing the progression of scoliotic curves. Review radiographic evaluation of scoliosis, blueprinting, orthotic design and measuring for a full time brace. Learn how to utilize these principles in daily practice of scoliosis spinal care.

MWB-2

Orthotic Management of Lower Limb Biomechanical Deficiencies Using the Triple Action™ Ankle Joint

Sponsor: Becker Orthopedic Beacon D (Sheraton Level 3) It has been shown that the gait of stroke patients can be improved when ankle foot orthoses are properly customized to compensate for biomechanical deficits. Traditional components and orthotic designs may not offer enough active range of ankle motion with appropriate resistance to plantarflexion or dorsiflexion to adequately manage all phases of gait for these patients. Additionally, the optimization of AFO mechanical characteristics has traditionally been done by trial and error, either by iterative adjustment of the ankle component, or altering AFO material, shape and thickness. Typically, with any method of post-fabrication alteration, changing one characteristic has an effect on other properties of the orthosis. The Triple Action rocker and alignment control ankle joint generates higher stiffness and provides greater range of motion than conventional ankle components. It was designed to isolate the adjustment of plantarflexion resistance, dorsiflexion resistance and ankle alignment; making the effects of each of these features more visible. The Triple Action’s unique alignment feature, and metered resist settings simplify component adjustment. These features help the clinician to more effectively optimize the orthosis for the patient. This workshop will cover the unique physical limitations of chronic stroke patients and the application of a Triple Action AFO in treating the biomechanical deficits of chronic stroke. A practicum on the use of the Triple Action ankle joint will be administered during the workshop to demonstrate treatment principles.

S.W.A.S.H. Certification Course

Sponsor: Allard USA Beacon E (Sheraton Level 3) Up to 60% of the pediatric CP population can be involved with some level of hip displacement. While fixed abduction orthoses can be appropriate for post-surgical or frank dislocations, a more dynamic solution is more appropriate for patients who are less involved where immobilization would have negative consequences. The SWASH orthosis is a variable abduction hip orthosis that can be used when fixed abduction is not absolutely necessary. This course qualifies as a SWASH certification course.

Chronic and Acute Stance Control Patient Application Management

Sponsor: Becker Orthopedic Hampton (Sheraton Level 3) The formula for success in the application of a stance control orthosis is tied to a proper assessment of the patient. Chronic and acute patient categories present unique practitioner challenges in the use of the technology. Success has been directly linked to a physical trial with an immediate fit orthosis. In this approach, a practitioner can ascertain if any physical restraints exist from the late effects of a neuromuscular deficit in chronic patients. In acute cases, the practitioner can initiate the task of gait retaining and determine if sufficient muscular strength exists for the patient to initiate over the ground weight bearing. In either category, patients undergo a physical challenge through the use of the trial orthosis and if successful can transition to a custom device. The workshop will cover the unique physical limits of acute and chronic applications, as well as a practicum on the use of the PreStride™ immediate fit stance control orthosis.

Are You Up for the Challenge? The Explosion of Adaptive Sports at Every Skill and Activity Level

The Effects of AFO Stiffness and Alignment on Lower Extremity Kinematics in Stroke and Multiple Sclerosis (C 1C)

Beatrice Janka, MPO, CPO During this lecture, the effect of AFO mechanical characteristics on biomechanical variables will be measured and evaluated in the context of biomechanical deficits. Kinematic data shows systematic changes in biomechanical variables when AFO mechanical characteristics are varied. In some cases, the orthotic influence is predictable and appears to be significantly affected by the pattern of biomechanical deficits.

Room 302/304 (Hynes Level 3) Hear the four best abstracts submitted for presentation at the “Best of Show” award-winning Thranhardt Lecture Series. Launched by a gift from J.E. Hanger in memory of Howard R. Thranhardt, CP, the series offers an honorarium to the winners. This year’s winning presentations are outlined below. (The following sessions run consecutively within this program.)

Gordon Stevens, CPO, LPO This presentation examines the functional independence of amputees through implementation of a prosthetic rehabilitation program which incorporated a healthcare team and validated testing measures. Once the prosthesis was fit, patients began physical therapy and were typically discharged after six to eight weeks. The project utilized the AMP and the TUG administered at evaluation, delivery, six-week, and six-month follow-up appointments. On average, participants increased from a K2 to a K3 ambulation level as measured by the AMP and were below the fall threshold of a 19 seconds TUG test at completion of the program.

Kenton Kaufman, PhD, PE Learn about a clinical trial demonstrating that K2 amputees using a MPK (K3 technology) improved their safety and activity, which resulted in increased satisfaction. The reduction in stumbles and falls occurred while the patients engaged in more physical activity. The increase in activity resulted in a greater exposure to fall risk, but that risk was diminished by the advanced technology.

A Bio-Inspired Algorithm for a Robotic Foot-Ankle Prosthesis Provides Robust Control of Level Walking and Stair Ascent (C 8C)

Zhixiu Han, PhD Kiisa Nishikawa, PhD Intrinsic muscle properties (preflexes) enable muscles to adapt instantaneously to changes in load without requiring sensory feedback. We developed a “winding filament” hypothesis (WFH) for muscle contraction that accounts for intrinsic muscle properties by incorporating a role for the giant titin protein in active muscle. This lecture will detail the results that demonstrate successful implementation of a robust control algorithm for a robotic foot-ankle prosthesis based on the winding filament hypothesis. By implementing a control algorithm that, like muscle, adapts instantaneously to changes in load, robust control of level walking at variable speed and strain ascent has been achieved with minimal sensing and no change in parameters.

Live demonstrations of casting, modifications, drape molding of plastic, identifying trim lines, pattern design, assembly of leather shell, pulling/ molding of leather and final trimming and finishing will be presented.

Biomechanical Analysis to Show the Difference between Two Low Profile Prosthetic Feet (C 8F)

Jeroen Nijman, MSc Amputees with long residual limbs have the advantages of improved socket fit, less torque on the muscles and improved stability compared to shorter residual limbs. Currently low profile feet are the main selection for this user group. The disadvantage of low profile feet is limited space for a flexible lever arm and therefore often considered to be stiff. This presentation highlights the results of comparative testing between a stiffer low profile foot and a more flexible low profile foot.

Characterizing the Stiffness of Running-Specific Prostheses (C 8G)

Owen Beck Despite the potential importance of running-specific prosthetic stiffness on athletic performance, manufacturers report stiffness using arbitrary categories rather than actual stiffness values. Therefore, we will discuss a way to characterize the mechanical stiffness values of running-specific prostheses. Measuring running specific prosthetic stiffness at 0° overestimates stiffness compared to using angles that occur during running and when athletes with leg amputations change prosthetic models, sagittal plane alignment, and/or height, the stiffness profiles also change; therefore variations in comfort, performance, etc. may be indirectly due to altered stiffness.

Novel Tool for Measuring Compensatory Shoulder Movements in Upper Limb Amputees with Myoelectric Prosthetics (C 12D)

Rahul Kaliki, PhD Patients with upper extremity prosthetics often rely on compensatory movements to complete complex tasks involving movement at multiple joints. We quantified these compensatory movements and present a novel tool for the evaluation of prosthetic functionality, with implications for individualized training protocols during this lecture.

Impact of Bilateral Upper Limb Prosthesis Simulators in Pre-Prosthetic Training: A Case Study (C 12E)

Debra Latour, MEd, OTR/L The VC/VO prosthesis simulator was used during the pre-prosthetic delivery phase of intervention to address skills, drills of grasp and release in diverse planes, functional splinter skills and bi-manual functional tasks; accompanied by work with the mirror box to occlude vision and address position in space, surface/ object feature identification and object identification. This presentation will conclude whether such emphasis may help to improve functional outcomes and consumer satisfaction with the definitive prosthesis, impact user acceptance and minimize rejection of the prosthesis.

Advantages of External Power Multi-grip Options for the Partial Hand Gerald Stark, MSEM, CPO/L, FAAOP This poster describes the clinical population and special needs of transcarpal prosthetics and the limitation of current available designs. The importance of grip strength, speed, and opposition/lateral grip for partial hand patients will be shown.

P.2

Combined Utilization of Fabric Prosthetic Socket Design and Pattern Recognition Control in Shoulder Disarticulation Prostheses Laura Katzenberger, CP, LP Pattern recognition has proved a viable control strategy for myoelectric prostheses. New fabric shoulder socket technology has allowed for a shoulder disarticulation prosthetic socket that is compliant, lightweight, breathable and comfortable. A case study is presented demonstrating how using these two new technologies together on a patient with a shoulder disarticulation, brachial plexus injury, and TBI produced an outcome that would not have been possible with traditional socket design and two site myoelectric control.

P. 3

Design and Development of New Electric Hook – Type Terminal Device Scott Hosie, CPO Externally powered upper extremity components such as the ETD and Greifer have proven themselves as valuable tools for individuals with upper limb loss. The next generation Electric Terminal Device improves upon those previous designs for a more functional and versatile device.

P. 4

Handsmart Group—Development of an International Expert Group for Sharing Resources of Upper Limb Absence Worldwide Birgit Bischof, PT In February 2016 an international consortium of expert clinicians from US, Canada, Israel, Sweden, Germany and Austria met in Berlin, Germany and established an independent non-profit group for sharing resources of upper limb absence worldwide, called the “handsmart group”. Learn how clinicians worldwide will be engaged and supported by creating and updating an open access, easily understandable consensus resource based on evidence in an attempt to provide the most holistic rehabilitation approach for every person with upper limb loss or upper limb difference, now and in the future.

Find a Friend: Bringing New Technology to O&P (B 4A)

Eric Burns, CO Our industry is currently experiencing a technological revolution—from 3D printing, Microprocessor control devices, Exoskeletal systems, wearable devices, to monitoring devices that will change our field in just a few years. These technologies will have a huge impact on our patients lives. Many of these advances are happening outside of orthotics and prosthetics. In this session, we will discuss the need to develop new relationships outside of O&P to ensure these technologies become a part of our patients lives and these emerging technologies are a part of orthotic and prosthetic practices.

SATURDAY SCHEDULE

7:30 – 8:45 AM

Developing a Business Model (B 4B)

Chris Field, MBA Many companies operate under a “silo” model of organization and management. Organizational charts list people/positions at the top of the chart and their responsibilities follow a downward listing. Hopefully, what actually transpires during the day-to-day of the real world will fall neatly under one of the designated silos. But what if it doesn’t and more importantly, would you know if something critical to the health of your business was being neglected? This lecture will discuss creating a Process Model specifically for your business, allowing an owner or stakeholder to verify that all aspects of their business are examined. Nothing will fall through the cracks or be neglected as a result of everyone thinking it was someone else’s responsibility. You will identify areas you simply took for granted, areas that you will realize need far more attention and areas that if not soon addressed and cared for may lead to the untimely demise of your entire business.

Room 210 (Hynes Level 2) Deanna Fish, MS, CPO Phillip Stevens, MEd, CPO Clinical Practice Guidelines have become increasingly important in today’s healthcare environment. Derived from systematic review and meta-analysis of scientific evidence and further informed, when needed, by clinical expertise and consensus, these statements can help define and guide evidence-based healthcare. They are intended to help avoid inefficiencies and optimize the utilization of healthcare dollars. In recent years, Clinical Practice Guidelines have been developed for cranial remolding orthoses, the prescription of microprocessor knees, postoperative management of individuals with transtibial amputation and the selection of prosthetic foot and ankle mechanisms. The development process, competing guideline models and outcomes to date will be described in this session.

Grand rounds are an important teaching tool and ritual of medical education and patient care. In our Grand Round program today we are pleased to present this multidisciplinary forum where we can all review actual case studies and learn from the surgeons, prosthetists and physical therapists who cared for the amputee survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing. We are pleased to kick off this program by celebrating the successes of two of the survivors. This tragic event touched orthotics and prosthetics in a very unique way, possibly in a way never before seen in our profession as many of the injuries that day resulted in limb loss and our practitioners became an integral part of assisting the brave survivors as they faced a life changing event. Our colleagues in the Boston area were on the forefront of the management of these survivors. It is important as we return to Boston, the birthplace of the American Revolution, that we look back, and mourn those who perished and learn from those who survived.

Strategies for Effective Implementation of Outcomes in the O&P Clinic (C 18)

Room 208 (Hynes Level 2) Jared Howell, MS, CPO/L, FAAOP Brian Kaluf, CP Joshua Lyman, MS Lorin Merkley, CP Cara Negri, BSME, CPO Shane Wurdeman, PhD, CP, FAAOP Outcomes, outcomes, outcomes. We get it, everyone is discussing how important it is to do outcomes. Yet, is your practice effectively collecting outcomes? Could your practice be collecting outcomes in a more efficient manner with less disturbance to the flow of your office? What are the various instruments available? By the end of 2016, CMS has stated that 85% of all Medicare payments will have a value based measure tied to them. This symposium will present findings and results from the use of various methods currently being developed and utilized within clinics to allow Prosthetists and Orthotists to collect these outcome measures without breaking up the flow of the office. By the end of the symposium the audience will have various ideas and methods to take back to their own practice to begin to effectively implement outcome measures without impacting productivity.

Mediating the Introduction and Use of Standardized Functional Outcome Measure Tests for Lower Limb Prosthetic Performance in Clinical Settings (C 20E)

Jon Smith, CPO Functional Outcome Measure (FOM) tests administered in a clinical setting provide essential information regarding the locomotor performance of individuals with lower-limb amputation as enabled by their prosthetic device. However, few clinicians routinely collect this data, in part due to their unfamiliarity with FOM set-up and execution. Creating an easy to use method of collecting and leveraging these metrics has the potential to encourage clinicians to capture this data.

A Comparison of the Functional Properties of Dynamic Response Prosthetic Feet in Unilateral K-Level-3 Amputees

Arezoo Eshraghi, PhD Kevin Matthews, CO Donning and doffing of prosthesis are challenging tasks for many lower-limb amputees. A questionnaire will be presented that evaluates the ability of transtibial amputees to don and doff prosthesis. It has the potential to help manufacturers, clinicians, and researchers gain knowledge and improve the donning and doffing qualities of prosthesis.

Combined Gait Asymmetry Metric Based on Biomechanics: Comparison of IRC, Brimless, & Able-Body

Comparing Prosthetic Socket Types with Regard to Distribution of Modulus of Elasticity within the Socket Garrett Hurley, CPO A prosthetic socket interfaces the human limb with distal componentry and functions to transfer biomechanical forces resulting from gait and other movements as well as weight bearing forces. The ability for a socket to function in this way is dependent on how the socket is configured or shaped to engage with the limb and the materials that comprise the socket. Review our hypothesis that a greater variety of materials’ elastic moduli within a socket improves comfort and function by better managing pressure distribution and transitions between pressure distribution regions.

How Well Can the Amputee Mobility Predictor and Patient Demographics Predict the Medicare Functional Classification Level (K-level) in People with Transfemoral and Transtibial Amputation? Michael Dillon, PhD, BPO (Hons) The Amputee Mobility Predictor (AMP) is frequently used to quantify mobility and aid categorization of people with lower limb loss into mutually exclusive K-levels. While research has shown differences in the average AMP score between K-levels, this does not demonstrate that the AMP can accurately predict K-level. There is a pressing need to determine how accurately the AMP can predict K-level using more appropriate statistical techniques.

Malte Bellmann, Dipl.-Ing Many currently available microprocessor-controlled knee joints differ significantly in functional performances in different gait situations of the amputee. Review results that suggest a microprocessor stance and swing phase controlled system in combination with a linear hydraulic has major benefits in safety relevant situations like walking backwards, up and down ramps and down stairs and provides a significant higher prosthetic side load bearing capacity after stumbling. The safety potential of prosthetic knee joints not only depends on the technology implemented to generate movement resistances for flexion and extension but also on the sensor and control algorithms especially designed for safety relevant gait conditions.

Jason Highsmith, PhD, PT, CP, FAAOP Dan Ignaszewski Jason Kahle, MSMS, CPO, FAAOP Kenton Kaufman, PhD, PE Michael Orendurff, PhD Access to medically necessary prosthetic devices remains a challenge for prosthetists and patients alike. Payers demand evidence to define medical necessity. In the absence of guidance, prosthetists have defaulted to under prescribing, negatively impacting individuals with limb loss. Solutions require a multi-faceted approach which includes evidence and value-base for prosthetic care, enhancing documentation to emphasize medical necessity required for reimbursement, and promoting the voice of independent patients for self advocacy. Understanding the current state of reimbursement requirements and an action plan to address the pending issues will guide the prosthetist to ensure the patients under their care will improve access to medically necessary prosthetic devices.

Functional Tone Management (C 22)

Room 208 (Hynes Level 2) Zachary Bohart, MD Spasticity or hypertonicity is muscle tightness that can occur after stroke. It can manifest in different muscle groups. Spasticity is especially hindering to stroke recovery because it can interfere with the ability to produce normal movement as well as perform activities of daily living such as grooming, dressing and bathing. It can also cause problems with balance. If muscles stay tight for a prolonged period, contractures may form. Orthoses are often prescribed to prevent contractures, decrease excessive tone, prevent skin breakdown, lengthen shortened tissues, increase or maintain range of motion, decrease pain, and properly position joints.

Jana Jeffers, MS Activities of daily living include negotiating up- and down-hill slopes, but it is unclear how the use of a passive or powered leg prosthesis affects metabolic demand and muscle activity during up- and down-hill walking. We will discuss measured changes in metabolic cost and muscle activity for both legs of three people with a transtibial amputation using passive and powered prostheses during level and hill walking. Metabolic cost was different across slopes but not between prostheses and muscle activity of the unaffected leg soleus, gluteus maximus, and biceps femoris were greater on uphill and lower on downhill slopes.

Joint angle and movement measures are compared between a traditional markered motion capture system (CODA), and a new markerless system (GaitKeeper®), with subsequent measures of clinical interest compared from automated reporting.

How Step Symmetry Changes When Patients Become Accustomed to Lower Limb Prosthetic Devices (C 23B)

Jason Kahle, MSMS, CPO, FAAOP Prosthetic socket design is evolving and the introduction of new materials and techniques allow for alternative designs. This presentation will examine the biomechanical gait effects of a transfemoral amputee using a Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN). This project compared the effect of IRC to Sub-Ischial vacuum assisted suspension (VAS) transfemoral interface design on gait biomechanics using a CAREN system.

Energy Expenditure in People with Transtibial Limb Loss Walking with Crossover and Energy-Storing Feet (C 23A)

The Effect of Transfemoral Prosthetic Interface Design on Gait Biomechanics Using a CAREN System: IRC Compared to Sub-Ischial (C 23C)

The “Dead Spot” Phenomenon: Quantified Through an Analysis of Center of Pressure and it’s Rate of Change (C 23D) Tyler Klenow, MSOP, CO, CPT The development and implementation of a metric to measure the “dead spot” phenomenon in prosthetic feet will be presented. Results of a initial double-blind study using five prosthetic feet will be discussed.

Evaluation of Gait Patterns in O&P (C 23)

Goeran Fiedler, PhD, CPO(D) It is important to provide users of P&O devices the appropriate time to become accustomed to a new device. Yet there is no consensus on how much time is appropriate, and respective assumptions vary widely among clinicians and researchers. In this session you will investigate gait symmetry as a possible variable to describe the process of accommodation to a prosthesis modification.
