This webinar will introduce participants to Ethnocare and its innovative prosthetic device, the Overlay.

Designed to address the challenges of limb volume fluctuations and socket fit issues, the Overlay uses an integrated air expansion system to provide amputees with customizable comfort and improved stability, mobility and performance throughout the day. The session will share the story behindEthnocare’s user-centered development process, present clinical evidence on the problems caused by current solutions, and demonstrate how the Overlayrepresents a simple, universal, and impactful advancement for both patients and clinicians.

The 360⁰ Orthotics ecosystem is a comprehensive resource designed to support the prescription, design, manufacture and maintenance of complex AFOs and KAFOs. It empowers clinicians to deliver patient-centred care by combining structured guidance backed up with safety and warranty adherence, alongside the flexibility to apply clinical judgement. This balance ensures that interventions are safe, effective and tailored to individual needs.

The workflow adheres to established safety and quality standards, including the BAPO KAFO Standards, ensuring that all interventions meet professional and regulatory expectations. By streamlining processes and supporting decision-making, it enhances both clinical efficiency and patient outcomes. The orthoses maintenance schedule is clearly defined and easy to follow with full tutorial-based education from of each step from physical examination, planning the orthosis, casting, manufacture, setup and supply to ongoing maintenance. The patient’s ongoing care is therefore easily planned and cost expectations can be assessed, whilst providing a structure for supply of further interventions.

KAFOs and AFOs are one of the more complex aspects of orthotic care the 360⁰ Orthotics system provides a resource to guide clinicians and Technicians of all experience levels to achieve accurate, repeatable, safe and highly functional orthoses customised to suit the patient’s needs.

This webinar provides clinicians with a practical overview of modern prosthetic suspension solutions designed to improve comfort, skin health, and functional mobility. The course examines common limitations of traditional suspension methods—such as pistoning, skin irritation, and alignment constraints—and introduces alternative approaches that better address patient variability and complex clinical presentations.

Participants will gain insight into hybrid suspension technologies, including Coyote’s Air-Lock system, which combines the security of pin suspension with the benefits of suction. Key topics include system design, internal mechanics, fabrication workflows, and patient indications, with emphasis on clinical decision-making for both diagnostic and definitive sockets.

Real-world case studies highlight outcomes in active patients, individuals with compromised skin integrity, volume fluctuation, short residual limbs, and other challenging anatomical presentations. The webinar also explores fabrication efficiencies, alignment flexibility, and emerging workflows such as drop-in components and 3D-printed socket integration.

The course concludes with clinical tips, troubleshooting strategies, and guidance on incorporating these suspension solutions into everyday practice to enhance patient outcomes and satisfaction.

Course description: 

Orthotic management of early stroke – A one day course

Within our busy clinical schedules, orthotists are often requested to provide opinion on orthotic intervention for stroke patients at all stages of their recovery. A common comment is we wish we had seen them earlier. If our wish came true. What would we do and what is the ideal approach for orthotic treatment from day one?

For physiotherapists, there are a plethora of evidence based interventions with little guidance for best approach treating and managing stroke survivors with motor impairments

Our course offers a well thought out clinically reasoned approach based on physiotherapy interventions and NICE guidelines to create a care pathway that gives patients and therapists the best opportunity to reach optimal recovery and independence.

This course commences with formal presentations supporting the pathway and leads to practical demonstration with patients.

Learning Outcomes: 
Orthotic management of early stroke
Background and understanding of stroke pathology
What’s the evidence for interventions?
Current practice and variability
A proposed model to optimise motor learning.
Practical assessment and clinical test
Simulating interventions
Complimentary interventions
Case studies

Intended Participants:
​​☒​ Orthotists
​​☒​ Orthotic support workers
​​☒​ Other: Physiotherapists

By the end of the session, the audience will gain insight into how Blesma works in partnership with clinical services to support military veterans in achieving independent and fulfilling lives.

The webinar will focus on the science behind Incrediwear, explain the therapeutic benefits, present clinical evidence and clinical applications.

Discover how wearable infrared technology is transforming patient care in this engaging and informative webinar focused on Incrediwear, an evidence-driven solution designed to accelerate recovery, reduce pain, and optimise function. Ideal for orthotists, physiotherapists, and wider healthcare professionals, this session will explore how Incrediwear’s innovative fabric technology works at the cellular level to increase blood flow, support natural healing processes, and improve outcomes in both acute and chronic conditions.
Participants will gain insight into the underlying science of semiconductor-embedded fibres, how these stimulate infrared emission, and the resulting physiological benefits. The webinar will include practical guidance on clinical applications across musculoskeletal injury, post-operative rehabilitation, vascular issues, and oedema management, as well as considerations for integrating Incrediwear into existing treatment pathways.

Real-world case examples will illustrate patient response, compliance advantages, and opportunities to enhance everyday practice. Whether you are new to Incrediwear or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will provide clear, actionable knowledge to support better decision-making and improved patient outcomes.
Join us to explore the growing role of wearable infrared technology in modern rehabilitation and discover how Incrediwear can complement your clinica ltoolkit.
