The Extremity Trauma and Amputation Center of Excellence holds monthly live webinar sessions that target clinicians who work with amputation or limb trauma care. The Limb Trauma Educational Series is an educational platform for information-sharing from experts to the multi-disciplinary team that treats patients with an extremity trauma. Monthly sessions are aimed to bring new material, case studies, and best practices into the clinical setting in order to provide exceptional care to the limb trauma and limb loss population. The LTES strives to improve outcomes by reducing variations in processes of care and sharing of best practices and expertise.
April's session topic, Residual Limb Health Measurement and Monitoring: Overview and Future Directions, will be presented by Molly Baumann, PhD. In this insightful presentation, participants will explore critical takeaways surrounding residual limb health and its adaptation to socket wear. There is a growing need for a better understanding of how residual limbs respond to prolonged socket use, and existing technologies offer promising avenues for implementation and advancement in this area. By understanding the changes in residual limb health, clinicians and researchers can better predict and prevent skin breakdown, allowing patients to continue using their prosthetic sockets with greater comfort and confidence.
