ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Suitcase Packing Activity (SPA) in Upper Limb Loss

In this episode of Beyond the Limb, Will Riddick talks with physical therapist and postdoctoral scholar Paige Paulus about the Suitcase Packing Activity (SPA), a functional outcome measure for individuals with upper limb loss and limb difference. They discuss how the SPA was developed, what it measures, how patients adapt tasks in their own unique ways, and what clinicians can learn by watching those strategies. Will and Paige also explore prosthetic use, patient-reported outcomes, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the future of outcome measurement in upper limb rehabilitation.
