Lawall Prosthetic and Orthotic Services, headquartered in Philadelphia, hosted an Orthotic & Prosthetic Activities Foundation (OPAF) First Stride Training and Clinic on April 7. More than 50 O&P professionals and therapists attended the training session, led by Sheila Clemens, PhD, at Moss Rehabilitation in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. This was the largest First Stride training session, according to OPAF.
