Behind Every Device: The Art and Science of Fabrication
In this episode, host Seth O’Brien, CP, FAAOP(D), welcomes Lindi Mitsou, MSPO, CPO, FAAOP, co-chair of the Academy’s Fabrication Sciences Society, to explore the critical role fabrication plays in orthotic and prosthetic patient outcomes. They discuss how seemingly minor fabrication details can lead to significant clinical challenges, from socket clicks and elevated vacuum leaks to thermoplastic failures, and why materials knowledge, troubleshooting, and quality control are essential to successful patient care. Lindi shares how emerging technologies, additive manufacturing, and evidence-based materials selection are shaping the future of fabrication, while highlighting the importance of collaboration between clinicians and technicians. The conversation also addresses workforce challenges, the need for continued technician education, and resources available through the Fabrication Sciences Society.

Making Outcome Measures Work for O&P
In this episode, recorded live at the 52nd Academy Annual Meeting in Nashville, host Seth O’Brien, CP, FAAOP(D), welcomes Jason Kahle, MSMS, CPO, LPO, FAAOP, for a conversation about making outcome measures more meaningful in clinical practice and reimbursement. Drawing on decades of experience in O&P and research, Kahle questions whether the growing number of available measures has translated into fewer denials and explains why payers often need more than a score to understand a patient’s needs and progress. He discusses the value of patient-reported outcomes and stronger documentation, particularly the subjective portion of the SOAP note, in building a clear and compelling patient story. Kahle also shares practical measures clinicians can incorporate into practice, including tracking stumbles and falls, activities of daily living, the Patient-Specific Functional Scale, ABC and PROMIS PF. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes turning biometrics and changes in function into concise, visual narratives that communicate meaningful outcomes to patients, clinicians, other providers and payers.
