Hello folks,
Just joined the lower limb society. Have been practicing in Tampa since 1982.
Day has been very but very gratifying. Just fit a prep on a new tans tib. Patient did great.
After 30 years of practice I still get a charge when I see that ear to ear smile from the patient
when they take there first steps. Isn't this a great profession.
Hope all is well with the world,
Olaf "Mick" Holm, CO, LPO

The basic idea is to train local people in Senegal, Bangladesh, and Kenya (to name a few) on how to build the knee from…

ICF
As part of a review of the ISPO meeting in Germany, one of the magazines mentioned the ICF's (International Classifications of Function).
