The Hanger Institute for Clinical Research and Education released its 2024/2025 Annual Report focused on its efforts to improve clinical outcomes and provide evidence-based care through research, innovation, and clinical integration.
The Institute and its partners continued to address novel outcome measures that better capture the real-world impact of care and explored the integration of artificial intelligence to support clinical decision making. They have also generated evidence in support of microprocessor technologies, contributed work in bone-anchored prosthetics, and incorporated patient preferences more directly into care pathways and outcomes research.
“The Institute has remained steadfast in its commitment to knowledge translation and education through peer-reviewed publications, clinical residencies, and strategic collaborations that connect evidence-based research to real-world practice,” said Shane Wurdeman, PhD, CP, FAAOP(D), Hanger’s chief clinical officer. “Our mission is to explore, expand, and facilitate opportunities that advance science and improve patient care across the O&P field, and ultimately to empower every patient to pursue and achieve their goals.”
