Description

University of Maryland Rehabilitation & Orthopaedic Institute is delighted to welcome Dennis Oehler and Todd Schaffhauser for our quarterly, sponsored, Amputee Walking School. This program, part of our Amputee Support Group, and sponsored in conjunction with Dankmeyer Inc. Prosthetics and Orthotics, is designed for people with lower extremity amputation. Todd and Dennis are both individuals with amputation who won their running events in the 1988 Seoul Paralympics. They now travel the country providing Amputee Walking School events. The program includes instruction in exercises for people with amputation to improve walking, balance, coordination and even running!  Included is testing for balance and walking speed with retests at subsequent events to track your progress. Don't miss this fun and exciting event with free parking. Please feel free to bring your a friend or family member (free tickets available).
