We have some great news for NYSAAOP members! The NYSAAOP and OPGA have
teamed up to bring this exciting new above-knee socket design seminar to New York.
OPGA has hosted 7 seminars thus far and the response has been so
overwhelming that they have agreed to bring the seminar to the New York area.
NYSAAOP Chapter Members will receive a discount. The seminars will be held at
Hutnick Rehab Services in Holbrook (Long Island), NY on the following dates:
Monday/Tuesday, June 20-21
Thursday/Friday, June 23-24
Two tiers of learning will be offered at the course:
* Tier I – “Hands-On” – Full two-day seminar, which includes patient
evaluation with casting, modifications, and two test sockets. Attendee must provide
own patient model and his/her travel arrangements
* Tier II – “Observation” – Full two-day seminar that includes all course
materials, observation of patient evaluation, but no hands-on participation.
There will be 3 observers “teamed up” with each hands-on attendee.
For those of you not familiar with the M.A.S. socket design, it is a
revolutionary new socket design created and patented by Marlo Ortiz from
Guadalajara, MX. To read more about the socket design, read a recent article in the O&P
