  • 2008 Call for Thranhardt Lecture Presentations at the PrestigiousAcademy Annual Meeting

    The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists announces the Call
    for Thranhardt Lecture Presentations to be presented at the

    34th Academy Annual Meeting & Scientific Symposium,

    February 27 - March 1, 2008 in Orlando, FL.

    The Howard R. Thranhardt Lecture Series is an education fund that was
    established in 1995 by J.E. Hanger Southeast in memory of Howard R.
    Thranhardt, CP. The fund provides a $1,000 honorarium for one hour of
    education programming at the Academy Annual Meeting.

    Based upon the submitted abstracts, not more than four presentations
    will be chosen as potential recipients of the Thranhardt Lecture Series
    honorarium. These presentations will be delivered at the Annual Meeting.
    The two best presentations will be determined based upon content,
    delivery, clinical, and scientific relevance of the presentation. Two
    $500 honoraria will be awarded to the selected presentations.

    The abstracts that are selected for the Thranhardt Lecture Series will,
    with the author's permission, be forwarded to the Journal of Prosthetics
    and Orthotics (JPO) Editorial Review Board for consideration for
    inclusion in a future issue of the JPO.



    Requirements for Submission of Abstract:

    1. All abstracts must be original work, attributable to the author.

    2. Presentations should be 20 minutes in length.



    Deadline for Abstract Submission: July 31, 2007



    Thranhardt Abstract Content:

    - The purpose of the abstract is to define the precise content of the
    presentation to the audience. Thranhardt abstracts must adopt the IMRD
    (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and
    Conclusion) format.

    - The results of the study should be included in the abstract. It is not
    satisfactory to state that the results will be presented or discussed.

    - It is the responsibility of the presenting author to ensure accuracy
    of content, spelling and presentation. Abstracts will be published
    exactly as submitted.

    - All abstracts will be peer reviewed by the Clinical Content Committee,
    which reserves the right to accept or reject abstracts for inclusion in
    the program.
