The Department of Physical Therapy is excited to host Dr. Jason Wilken, associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Iowa, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11, in Canyon Commons 103.

Dr. Wilken will present the topic “Experience and Evidence – Evolution of a Custom Fiber Device to Restore Limb Function.” His presentation will provide a succinct overview of the problems facing individuals who have experienced catastrophic limb injuries, which include a life of reduced function and pain due to the limitations of commonly available devices.

Improvements in rehabilitative techniques and custom-carbon fiber ankle foot orthoses over the last 10 years now enable the return to high-level athletic activities, and even a full return to active duty. Dr. Wilken will present key aspects of device design, evidence to support their use, and considerations for training individuals seeking to return to high-level function.

Everyone is encouraged to attend this free event, ask questions and welcome Dr. Wilken to the university. Light refreshments will be served.

Questions? Contact Linda Dallof at ldallof@georgefox.edu.
