#74: Finger Prosthetics and OT with Haley Van Escobar
Manage episode 402423296 series 2573061
The art and science of digital prosthetics is rapidly advancing.
Yet, many people with amputated fingers do not wear a prosthetic.
Part of the problem may be our own fault as health providers. We may be stuck in old stereotypes of poor outcomes and limited options related to digital prosthetics.
In this one-hour podcast-base course, we’ll look at a research article that explores the experiences of people who wear digital prosthetics. Our goal is to develop your skills in listening closely to your own clients and their needs in this area.
Next week on the podcast, we’ll welcome Haley Van Escobar. Haley has her own hand therapy private practice and works for a digital prosthetic company. You’ll learn how she landed this job, and what the average OT needs to know about this rapidly advancing space.
