KhAPO

I have just recovered a few more presentations from KhAPO congress 2007 in Kratie. I was a very successful congress. Many topics were discussed during the two days meeting. The participants were happy to learn a few new things for the benefits of their workplace.

These are the topics discussed and presented then.

1. Trolley presented by Naikim and Tharin (from VIC)
2. Review of diabetes management presented by Heang Thearith from The Cambodia Trust
3. Ischial Ramus Containment Socket presented by Thou Sambath from CSPO
4. Adaptive Seating System presented by Nom Channa from VIC Prey Veng
5. Principles of casting and orthotic management of lower extremity fracture presented by Thor Phearsa from CSPO.
6. Special adaptive wheelchair presented by Men Meas from VIC Kien Khleang
