Session Two
Academy TODAY Webinar Series Presented By:
Moderator
Chris Baschuk, MPO, CPO, FAAOP(D)
Webinar Description
Pattern recognition control for myoelectric prostheses has primarily been used by injured workers and veterans, but ongoing efforts to obtain an L-Code from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services could expand access to a broader patient population. As this technology evolves, it is crucial for prosthetists to understand how to identify ideal candidates and communicate expected outcomes effectively. This webinar will explore the differences between traditional dual-site direct control and pattern recognition control, highlighting benefits, limitations, and real-world clinical experiences from over 75 cases.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
-
Differentiate between dual-site direct control and pattern recognition control for myoelectric prostheses.
-
Identify ideal candidates for pattern recognition control based on clinical observations and patient needs.
-
Discuss the potential benefits and limitations of pattern recognition control, including cost, calibration requirements, and functional outcomes.
-
Communicate expected outcomes of pattern recognition technology to patients, allied health professionals, and insurance providers.
