What is need eeded in order to achieve this?

• Ability to measure and analyse in a systematic, universal and internationally acknowledged

manner…

• …how rehabilitation from A to Z – from planning surgery through to prosthetic fitting and gait

training – is currently performed

• This provides the facts and understanding to allow conclusions and recommendations as to

improvements to be made and implemented

• We need a tool to collect these facts and we are interested to learn from the Swedish experience
• We need change now!
