Challenges of a modern Transfemoral Socket design - M.A.S.® 2.0 SOCKET DESIGN
Presented by Marlo Ortiz
The prosthetic Socket technologies after above knee amputation is currently experiencing many innovative care approaches around the world that raise questions and make even experienced providers think about.
Since M.A.S.® Socket introduction in 2000, its main objective was to have more ischial-ramal containment, which made the transfemoral amputee to have more prosthetic control, improve range the of motion, socket comfort, and cosmesis.
The anatomical shape of the socket has been improved to define every specific part of the anatomy of residual limb to create the adequate channels for the extensors, flexors, adductors muscle groups.
For many years, the use of plaster casts was the technique used. This design, being an
anatomical/mathematical model, has been integrated into digital technology for better fitting, minimal manufacturing time, and greater precision.
This design has been disseminated in more than 40 countries for 25 years.

Introducing Lazar Posture: A New Standard for Optimising Clinical Outcomes.
Presented by Ine De Smedt, Ottobock
Objective static measurement remains a cornerstone of effective Prosthetic and Orthotic practice. This workshop introduces Lazar Posture, a new static optimisation system designed to bring precision and repeatability to your clinical work.
Through a combination of live demonstration and hands on participation, attendees will explore the system’s core functionality, examine real world use cases across clinical settings, and learn how objective static measurement data can be integrated into your practice and be used to enhance outcomes.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to: (1) understand the principles behind static postural optimisation, (2) identify appropriate clinical applications for the system, and (3) apply its outputs to measurably improve patient outcomes.
Suitable for all Prosthetist, Orthotists and Physiotherapists.

The Evolving landscape of SSCO: Integrating Innovation into Clinical Practice
Presented by Derick Adendorff, Ottobock
Recent developments in Swing and Stance Control Orthotics (SSCO) have expanded the clinical options for managing lower limb instability. This session highlights the latest updates to the Ottobock SSCO portfolio, including a new solution addressing key gaps across the mobility spectrum.
Attendees will explore how these innovations fit within clinical practice, with a focus on patient selection, biomechanics and functional outcomes to support informed clinical decision-making.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to: (1) understand how the Ottobock SSCO portfolio addresses patient needs across the continuum from post-injury rehabilitation to community reintegration, (2) select the most appropriate orthotic solution based on patient presentation, strength, functional ability and activity level, and (3) understand the structured pathway from clinical assessment through device selection and fitting to support optimal functional outcomes.
Suitable for all Orthotists and Physiotherapists.
