9th World Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Conference

Assistive Technology, Prosthetics and Orthotics

Assistive technologies, prosthetics, and orthotics play a critical role in improving mobility, independence, and participation for individuals with physical disabilities. This session will explore the latest advancements in prosthetic limbs, orthotic devices, adaptive equipment, and customized mobility solutions. Experts will discuss patient assessment, device prescription, fitting, and rehabilitation strategies that optimize functional outcomes. Presentations will highlight innovations in 3D printing, smart prosthetics, sensor-enabled orthoses, and myoelectric technologies. Participants will gain insights into gait analysis, biomechanical optimization, and long-term device management across different patient populations. Discussions will also focus on user-centered design, accessibility, affordability, and personalized rehabilitation planning. Clinical evidence supporting assistive technology integration into rehabilitation practice will be reviewed. The session aims to promote innovative solutions that enhance mobility, independence, and overall quality of life.
