Dissemination Activities

A primary goal of our RERC is to provide education in the science of P&O and to disseminate the results of the research and development projects conducted at the NU-RERC to audiences including people who use prostheses and orthoses, prosthetists, orthotists, physicians, therapists, manufacturers, suppliers, other researchers and the general public. To attain that goal, we have established and will continue utilizing the following mechanisms of dissemination to provide information to the target audiences.
