Fabrication of a transtibial prosthesis
- 17-18-19 June 2026
- Mestre (VE)
- Intensive practical course - 3 days
- 24 CME credits
Transtibial prosthesis evaluation and design
The seminar is designed to provide orthopaedic technicians with advanced theoretical and practical skills in the fabrication of transtibial prostheses, with particular attention to the principles of comfort, tightness and functionality of the device. The study of the amputated limb, the analysis of delicate areas and the functional evaluation of the patient, considering posture, load and mobility, will be explored in depth during the training course. Ample space will be dedicated to prosthesis design, the choice of modular components and the understanding of the most effective technical solutions to ensure correct adaptation to the stump and optimal functionality over time.
Prosthesis modelling, lamination and functional testing
A central element of the course will be the intensive, practical approach, developed through all the operational phases of transtibial prosthesis construction. Participants will work on taking measurements and making the plaster cast, anatomical-functional modelling and the construction of the carbon-fibre socket using vacuum lamination techniques. The course will be completed with prosthesis fitting, static and dynamic alignment, assisted gait tests and gait analysis, allowing theory to be translated into concrete expertise. Direct confrontation with the lecturers and practical exercises will foster an in-depth understanding of production processes and application solutions, concluding the seminar with a final examination and the recognition of CME credits.
