Dear members/colleagues on the P&O Listserv: I have a group of senior year Prosthetic and Orthotic technician students working on a semester project that is looking at various aspects of orthotic knee joint alignment jigs and as part this project, they are asking those on the Listserv to consider filling out a very short survey they have composed. I would be very grateful for any assistance you can offer them.

Dear Listserv Members,
We are currently doing research on orthotic knee joint alignment jigs and trying to better understand what is currently being used within our professional area. To assist us with our project, we invite you to participate in the aforementioned survey that will provide us with very valuable information to move forward with. The survey should not take much time as it is a brief set of 9 questions that can be answered within 5 minutes.
Overall we are looking to achieve the following objectives related to the project:
Research the current KAFO jigs available and being used.
Identify issues and problems with current KAFO jigs.
Find ways to address these issues and improve the design.
Develop a prototype in the next semester of the current academic year.
Our group would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to consider completing our survey. We look forward to your responses and will share back to the Listserv the outcome of our project.
Sincere regards,
Sean Seo, Marina Wager & Tia McQuarrie
Second year Prosthetic-Orthotic Technician Students,
