The Occupational Therapy Role in Rehabilitation for Partial Hand and Finger Amputees Tuesday, January 12 7 - 8 pm (EST)
$20 | 1 Contact Hour
Despite that 94% of upper-limb amputations occur at the
digit and metacarpal levels, little technological development has happened,
leaving working-age people with only cosmetic options after finger loss.
This
session will give a deep dive into the partial hand and finger amputee
population, how Naked Prosthetics has engineered solutions for them, and the
critical role occupational therapy practitioners can play in positive patient outcomes.
Presented by Hannah Smith, MBA
