Hands-on Orthotics Workshops
This hands-on, in-person course is designed for occupational therapists and physical therapists of all experience levels- from those new to orthotic fabrication to experienced clinicians seeking a refresher or looking to expand their skill set with new techniques and “tips and tricks”.
The course combines interactive lecture with extensive laboratory experience, providing participants with the knowledge and practical skills needed to advance their orthotic fabrication expertise. Participants will fabricate a variety of static and/or dynamic orthoses commonly used in both inpatient and outpatient settings with an emphasis on positioning, functional support, and post- surgical protection. Throughout the course, an experienced instructor will provide guidance, demonstrations, and hands on support to help participants refine their techniques, improve efficiency, and build confidence in clinical decision-making.
Whether you are looking to build a strong foundation, refresh existing skills, or take your orthotic fabrication to the next level, this course will offer a supportive learning environment to help implement your learned skills to the clinical setting.
Looking for a custom-designed course to target your orthosis fabrication needs?
