Moss Rehabilitation Hospital and Krusen Research Center

Research Orthotist Prosthetist:

As part of a team we used a gait lab to do a biomechanical analysis of the functions of newly developed “plastic” orthoses. I was laughed at by the local orthotists because they all knew that orthoses were made using leather and metal not plastic. The team assembled for this project on orthotics were two occupational therapists and a prosthetist.

A second research project was a multi axial above elbow prosthesis that used pattern recognition from ten muscles to simultaneously operate all axes.
