BAPO Teatime Talk – Introduction to the Glass Tracing Alignment Method; A Novel, Low-Cost Alignment Transfer Method for Lower-Limb Prostheses and Orthoses

Details

The Glass Tracing Alignment Method (GTAM) will be introduced and reviewed in detail with participants.  The origins and need for such a technique will be detailed along with the techniques involved with accurately performing the procedure.  The GTAM is a first-of-its-kind method to quickly certify that alignment procedures are performed accurately and also allow for the preservation of alignment when various components are swapped.  This has both clinical and research implications which will be reviewed in the presentation.
