YPSILANTI, Mich. - Ottobock North America will bring its Full Circle Movement event here in collaboration with Eastern Michigan University’s orthotics and prosthetics program. The event, scheduled for Sept. 27, is open to participants of all ages and mobility levels to experience the power of movement in a supportive, high-energy environment. “At Ottobock, we believe movement is for everyone," said Lucas Crisanti, clinical specialist and coach at Ottobock North America. "Partnering with Eastern allows us to reach future O&P leaders while empowering the limb loss and limb difference community through Full Circle Movement. It's about building bridges between education, innovation, and inclusion." The Full Circle Movement invites participants to engage in community movement tailored for prosthesis users and individuals with limb loss or limb difference. Led by certified clinicians and Paralympic-level experts, the event fosters confidence and connection through movement. It also provides a hands-on opportunity for orthotics and prosthetics students and professionals to witness how mobility solutions come to life beyond the clinic. Also as part of the event, Ottobock will host a continuing education course, "The Athlete's Corner," on Sept. 26 at EMU's Student Center. Designed for practicing clinicians, the course offers three continuing education credits (CECs) and features hands-on training with a live patient model.
