Prosthetic Advances Training Course
SPS is pleased to offer the Prosthetic Advances Training Course. This eight (8) hour course is conducted in two segments; the Bionic i-LIMB hand is reviewed in one four (4) hour segment and the Plie' MPC knee is reviewed in a four (4) hour segment. Practitioners may choose to attend one or both segments as desired.
The i-LIMB portion of the Prosthetic Advances course covers the fundamental functional differences between the i-LIMB hand and other myo-electric devices. It includes instruction on the operation of the i-LIMB System, patient evaluation, functional testing of myoelectric control, integration, cosmesis options and use/care of the i-LIMB Hand. Four (4) CEUs have been applied for this course. Participants who then pass the online course exam will be included in the list of "Accredited i-LIMB Hand Practitioners" on the Touch Bionics website.
