The Prosthetic Paradigm


About the Prosthetic Paradigm:

Prosthetic care is a ever changing field with learning at the center. The prosthetic paradigm podcast endeavors to further learning in the field of prosthetics, adaptive athletics, orthotics, limb loss, and more. Interviews with people who are pioneering techniques, technology, or training highlight and contribute the knowledge to further and facilitate knowledge in the field.

Why do the podcast? 

In my search to learn more about what I do and hone my craft it became apparent that information regarding prosthetics is either incomplete or difficult to find. 

 

Who should listen to the podcast? 

Prosthetists, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Orthotists, Physicians, Amputees, Family members, Coaches, anyone who may be intrigued, effected, or otherwise interested in prosthetics.

About the host:

Drew Nutter is a Certified and Licensed Prosthetist and Orthotist through the American Board for Certification. He holds multiple degrees which have contributed to his knowledge base including a B.S. in Exercise Physiology, MS in Exercise Science, MBA, and Master of Prosthetics and Orthotics

He also holds certifications as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association and is a certified USA Weightlifting Level 1 Coach. 

As a prosthetist I enjoy my part in the rehabilitation process, serving those with limb loss or those who have orthotic needs. There are few greater ways to serve others than by providing a practical means to restore independence to one's life. 

Disclaimer:

This podcast is only to expose ideas, shed light on the stories, struggles, and celebrate successes of those who live with limb loss, and otherwise discuss the field of prosthetics. Not to ever provide advice on care in any aspect.

Adaptive Training Foundation is an innovative non-profit gym that provides 100% cost free services to traumatically wounded, ill, and injured individuals through a nine week training program to redefine their lives through exercise and community. 

In January 2014, David Vobora, a 5-year veteran of the NFL, met US Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills, a quadruple amputee. The pair started working out together, customizing and adapting to the unique challenges posed by Travis’ injuries. Through working with Travis and engaging the veteran community, David developed a profound passion for helping those with life-altering injuries find life-fulfilling adaptive performance training.

There were many excellent rehabilitation programs as well as adaptive/Paralympic sports organizations. However, none existed to bridge the gap from basic functional rehabilitation to adapted sport. Adaptive Training Foundation (ATF) was built with the intent to fill this void. Since its inception, ATF continues to help adaptive athletes create sustainable lifestyle changes. As a 501(c)3, Adaptive Training Foundation has welcomed outside support for these ambitious athletes
