Peak Prosthetic Performance Clinic - A FREE Amputee Clinic
It is estimated that more than 1.7 million people in the United States are living with limb loss and one out of every 200 people in America has had an amputation. But many amputees are not getting the healthcare services they need and deserve. The Peak Prosthetic Performance Clinic is a one-time opportunity for amputees who have suffered a limb loss to be heard and evaluated.
CAF athlete Desmond Jackson is hoping to duplicate last year's performance at the San Diego Triathlon Challenge.
As the 2009 Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) San Diego Triathlon Challenge Kids 1K winner, it is easy for 11-year-old left transfemoral amputee, Desmond Jackson to stand out. The first place podium is always a little higher; the gold medal is always a little shinier. Like his hero and fellow North Carolina native, Michael Jordan, Desmond enjoys the challenge of winning.
September 10, 2018 – Center for Orthotic & Prosthetic Care recently hosted an OPAF First Stride Training and Clinic in Louisville, KY. This was the third year in a row for COPC to sponsor a First Stride for their patients, their referral sources and their community. The event was held at Norton’s Orthopaedic and Hand Center and instruction was led by First Stride instructor, Jim Scharf, PTA. Over 25 therapists, practitioners and patients attended the morning session, focusing on outcomes measures and how they relate to introduction to gait training for the lower limb amputee. Prosthetic componentry as well as proprioception were part of the three hour classroom education session which provided CEUs for both therapists and practitioners.
The afternoon session saw over a dozen lower limb amputees join us for a series of exercises and demonstrations to aid in walking as well as balance and core strength. Patients were given hand outs of exercises that they can use with everyday household items to improve their walking and activity level.
