Jon D. Wilson is P&O Care's Clinical Director and leader of our Prosthetic and Orthotic teams. Jon co-founded P&O Care with Jim Weber, CEO. Jon graduated from the Northwestern University Medical School with a Certificate of Prosthetics in 1994 and earned his Certificate of Orthotics from Northwestern in 2002. He is an ABC Certified Prosthetist and Orthotist and is an Illinois Licensed Prosthetist and Orthotist. Jon is nationally recognized as a leader in the field of upper and lower extremity prosthetic care and hemicorporectomy procedures. He is credited with designing a unique and innovative “body bucket” for hemicorporectomy patients. This custom fabricated prosthesis utilizes a matrix of ROHO cushions that enables people who have literally been cut in half to “float” in a seated position. With their weight and body fluid evenly distributed, they are able to lead active, mobile lives without worrying about skin breakdown. In 2004, the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association awarded him with the prestigious Howard R. Thranhardt Lecture Honorarium for his abstract “A New Concept in Prosthetic Interface Design for Hemicorporectomy Amputees Utilizing ROHO Compression Therapy.” |
