Stefania Fatone, PhD

Professor Stefania Fatone, PhD, BPO, was selected by the UW Institute of Translational Health Sciences (ITHS) to receive an Early Stage Product Development Award. She received the award for a project titled “Evaluation of a prototype socket fit testing system to assess coupling of the prosthetic socket in individuals with lower limb amputation.” This pilot grant builds on work recently funded by The O&P Foundation, allowing further development of a socket fit testing system by assessing its feasibility for use with transfemoral prosthesis users.
