Powering Up

The Second Semester has begun, everyone had successful exams and we are all beginning new term projects. We will be reseaching a disease or disorder, casting a patient in the community with the condition, and fitting them with an appropriate orthoses.


Our Focus right now is on Ankle Foot Orthoses, we've had 1 patient volunteer and (hopefully) more are on their way. We have been filming pathological gait of our patients in the Gait Lab, as well as analyzing the biomechanical differences of walking in good shoes vs. High heels (Even one of the guys was a good sport and wore a pretty pair of 4" Slingbacks). Videos will be up on the Goal Site Shortly!

Here we are, the class of 08'. It's been a great year, with a great group. Term paper presentations are now finished, and it was impressive to see how much work everyone put into them. 5 more exams to go and it's home for the holidays.

Cheers!

Light at the end of the tunnel

Thank God that we can see the end goal, becoming certified and practicing in the field. If not we might not have survived the last two weeks or be able handle the next 8 days. The light at the end of the tunnel is still bright, even if we don't quite know what karotinohyaline is...? Term 1 is almost over guys!
peace.
