Hands-On Learning
Myoelectric University is a FREE comprehensive hands-on and classroom myoelectric training course. Fillauer Motion Control provides transradial, transhumeral, and high level (shoulder disarticulation or inter-scapular thoracic level) patient models. Each attendee molds and fits an evaluation socket.
In addition, each group of 2-3 practitioners fits a patient with a myoelectric prosthesis. These systems include the ProPlus family of transradial components, the Taska hand, the Utah Artificial Arm U3/U3+, Utah Hybrid Elbow systems and the new hybrid Motion Arm.

Daily Course Instruction Sample
Day 1: Participants are introduced to the classroom and will meet our invited amputee models. They will work on casting limbs and preparing molds in our lab for the socket build. Come dressed to cast and work in the lab. Our team of fabricators will prepare the test sockets overnight. Instruction covers casting best practices and an overview of Motion Control products.
Day 2: After classroom instruction on MC terminal devices, the U3 Arm, new Motion Arm, and integrating COAPT systems, sockets will be returned to participants to begin preparing for the model fittings on Day 3.
Day 3: Amputee models return for fitting and testing. Additional classroom instruction takes place in the afternoon, along with a troubleshooting discussion from the fitting.
