Registration open for April 20, 2022 Amputee Walking School

Registration is now open for the April 2022 Amputee Walking School! This is the first time we have been able to meet since November 20, 2019. It feels like a very long time has passed. Now is time to get together again.

Join us, along with Todd and Dennis, as Dankmeyer co-hosts with the University of Maryland Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic Institute (UM Rehab).  More formally known as Advanced Gait Training for Individuals with Lower Extremity Amputations, this session of Amputee Walking School features two segments.  The afternoon segment is a learning session for professionals. This is followed by an evening session where those with lower limb loss/limb difference and their families come to work with the pros on various kinds of exercises.  The evening session is FREE, but be sure and register so that we can be ready for you.

Professionals will attend the afternoon session from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm. The topic is “Lower Limb Prosthesis Prescription and Training Considerations: An Update.” Our first time back, this session is virtual and free of charge. Click here for registration for the professionals’ session.

The evening session is 5 pm - 7 pm. Click here for registration for the free evening session for those with limb loss/limb difference.
