April 2023 Amputee Walking School Success!

The first session of the Amputee Walking School for 2023 was held April 12, 2023!

This was a “sold out” event - with a full house of participants, some attending for the first time! One of our attendees brought a special four legged guest for support. Dankmeyer team members Mark Hopkins, Barbara DeLorenzo, Rochelle Groves, Becca Frost and Jeremy Halteman attended the evening session to help out with the exercises.

Here is a link to some video moments!

Registration is now open for the JUNE 21, 2023 afternoon clinical session for professionals, and the evening session for those with limb loss.

Registration is now open for the November 2022 Amputee Walking School!

Join us, along with Todd and Dennis, as Dankmeyer co-hosts with the University of Maryland Rehabilitation and Orthopaedic Institute (UM Rehab).  More formally known as Advanced Gait Training for Individuals with Lower Extremity Amputations, this session of Amputee Walking School features two segments.  The afternoon segment is a learning session for professionals. This is followed by an evening session where those with lower limb loss/limb difference and their families come to work with the pros on various kinds of exercises.  The evening session is FREE, but be sure and register so that we can be ready for you.

Professionals will attend the course from 12:30 pm - 7:00 pm. The topic is “Advanced Gait Training for Persons with Amputation.” This course has applied for 5 hours of continuing education through the Maryland PT Board. Click here for registration for the professionals’ session.
