TRAINING COURSE:
Transradial Training
This training provides the basics in transradial myoelectrics, beginning with the Motion Control ProPlus family of components – ProPlus hand, ProPlus ETD, ETD2 and ProWrist. The interactions of the devices plus training with the iOS (Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) user interface give the attendees an excellent foundation of skills to provide the majority of myoelectric devices commonly encountered in prosthetic practice.
This foundation provides an easy step up to the Taska hand use and user interface. The slightly more complex user interface plus selection of grip patterns from the grip palatte become a relatively straightforward progression.
Length of Course: 8 hours
CEUs: Up to 8 hours (estimated)
Tuition/Fees: $1,500 (100% credited with purchase of the first device)
Instructors: R. Scott Hosie, CPO, Nathan Sprunger, CP
Fitting Requirements: Well-fitting socket with temporary forearm; lab facilities with standard prosthetic equipment
Recommended for: Training several practitioners from the same office, or a group training for multiple offices – an excellent opportunity for a business to increase knowledge of upper extremity prosthetics
