Prosthetic Sockets & Suspension Methods
Join us for a compelling educational experience as we host Continuing Education Unit (CEU) courses on “Prosthetic Sockets & Suspension Methods: Clinical Applications for PT”.
This professional education course is designed for physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and other allied health practitioners. The goal of the course is to highlight current socket technology that is specific to the lower extremity limb loss population. The instructor will review topics including socket styles, prosthetic liners, common suspension methods, prosthetic management, and limb volume management. The format includes a live-interaction lecture portion containing evidence-based information, manufacturer’s guidelines on prosthetic componentry, and video examples of donning and doffing techniques. Rehabilitation professionals will leave with the ability to immediately apply this information to their daily practice.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, the learner will be able to independently:
- Name at least two of three common prosthetic liner materials.
- Identify at least two modern suspension methods common to the transtibial level of limb loss.
- Identify as least two modern suspension methods common to the transfemoral level of limb loss.
