The British Association of Prosthetists and Orthotists (BAPO) is seeking two experienced demonstration patients:
- One person with trans-tibial leg amputation caused by diabetes who walks with a trans-tibial leg prosthesis.
- One person with knee arthritis and medial compartment knee syndrome who wears a knee orthosis (knee brace).
Requests for Proposals (RFP) are sought for two demonstration patients to contribute their stories for inclusion in a new project “Case studies simulation for learning about prosthetics and orthotics”. BAPO has been successful in securing seed funding to develop a new learning resource simulation in the form of a mobile gaming application.
