Clinical philosophies and their role in creating novel prosthetic devices
Presented by: Matthew J. Habecker, Clinical Director / CEO Indiana Institute for Prosthetics
A strong clinical philosophy is directly reflected in the devices that are ultimately created at any Prosthetic and Orthotic facility. We will discuss the components of the clinical philosophies underlying the care provided at the Indiana Institute for Prosthetics (Whitestown, IN) and how they influence the final products created through the clinic. Examples will be shared
