Abstract:

Fifty years ago, the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics was founded in recognition that this unique niche in rehabilitation would benefit from multidisciplinary interactions between specialists in engineering, therapy, and medicine.Since then, field evolved from having a craft orientation toward a technology and clinical specialty. This anniversary provides an opportunity to look back on advances in prosthetics and orthotics, and the clear impact they have had on changing the skills needed by the prosthetist/orthotist as new technology and techniques have emerged.

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence rate of musculoskeletal disorders and evaluate the body position in routine tasks among orthotists and prosthetists. Methods: Forty orthotists and prosthetists were included. The scores of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and the Rapid Entire Body Assessment were used to determine the prevalence rate of musculoskeletal disorders and analyze the work position of orthotists and prosthetists, respectively. An examiner evaluated 10 working postures that were dominantly used every day, in each orthotist and prosthetist.

Abstract:

The co-construction of a psychology module for a postgraduate training course in orthotics/prosthetics is socially constructed for the first time in Southern African history. This paper elucidates the integration of theory and practice in a model for the development of a professional identity as orthotist/prosthetist. In creating a context where trainees can learn to develop their practice while also enabling them to deconstruct notions of ‘expert knowledge’, orthotist/prosthetists move from a position of scientist-practitioner to negotiating an alternative position of reflective practitioner.

Abstract:

Background: Prosthetists and orthotists have a responsibility to direct treatment toward enabling their clients to perform desired activities and to facilitate participation of their clients in all areas of life. This may include provision of assistive technologies to help clients meet goals related to participation in sexual activities. To help prosthetic and orthotic students develop competencies in dealing with the sexual health of their future clients, it is necessary to generate knowledge of their own perceived competence and capacity. Objectives: To explore prosthetic and orthotic studen

Abstract:

The need to measure and evaluate orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) practice has received growing recognition in the past several years. Reliable and valid self-report instruments are needed that can help facilities evaluate patient outcomes. The objective of this project was to develop a set of self-report instruments that assess functional status, quality of life, and satisfaction with devices and services that can be used in an orthotics and prosthetics clinic. Selecting items from a variety of existing instruments, the authors developed and revised four instruments that differentiate pati

Abstract:

Background: Low Back pain (LBP) in both developed and developing countries is the most prevalent occupation-related problem. 60%-80% of the general population at some time in their lives suffers from LBP. The existing evidence on Allied Health professions suggests that prosthetists/orthotists are likely to be at risk of low back pain development which has not been explored. Feet disorders and deformities are among the possible causes of LBP that have been introduced. It seems that there is a link between foot deformity and spinal performance in terms of the principles of biomechanics. Proper t

This study aims to design a patient registration service application for the Prosthetics Orthotics Clinic at the Health Polytechnic of Jakarta I. Several methods for developing patient registration applications that were previously developed used the waterfall method. In this study, it was designed using the Rapid Application Development method with the hope that the development process could be faster with good results compared to the waterfall method. The result of this design is the formation of input and output designs for patient registration services for prosthetic orthotic clinics. This

In the original edition of Prosthetics and Orthotics International, Dr Sidney Fishman identified what he anticipated as foundational educational needs for the emerging field of clinical prosthetics and orthotics. Within the broader construct of the physical sciences, this included mathematics, physics, chemistry, biomechanics, and material sciences. The clinical application of these disciplines to expanding the collective understanding within the field is described, including the biomechanics of able-bodied and prosthetic gait, the material science of socket construction, the physics of suspen

Abstract Background By 2050, the global demand for orthotic and prosthetic services is expected to double. Unfortunately, the orthotic/prosthetic workforce is not well placed to meet this growing demand. Strengthening the regulation of orthotist/prosthetists will be key to meeting future workforce demands, however little is known about the extent of orthotist/prosthetist regulation nor the mechanisms through which regulation could best be strengthened. Fortunately, a number of allied health professions have international-level regulatory support that may serve as a model to strengthen regulati

Abstract Background Previous Australian workforce analyses revealed a small orthotist/prosthetist workforce with a low number of practitioners per 100,000 Australians. In recent years, initiatives were implemented to increase relative workforce size, including a government-led change in immigration policy to facilitate entry of experienced internationally trained orthotist/prosthetists into the Australian workforce. Given these changes, this project aimed to compare demographics of the orthotist/prosthetist workforce in Australia and each state/territory between 2007, 2012 and 2019. Methods Th

Abstract:

Technological innovation has transformed how we communicate, work, and conduct business. Over the next decade how we experience health care both as health care professionals and as client-patients will also change significantly. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge to medical clinical professionals that are device-focused, including prosthetists orthotists, as they consider how best to adapt. Current prosthetic orthotic education and practice is heavily clinically weighted, with less emphasis being given to engineering and business skills. Yet all three are essential core elements
