Our team of O&P clinicians and educators is developing a handbook to improve the quality of care for people with darker skin. It will include photos of various skin issues associated with orthotics and prosthetics on black and brown skin to better educate students and clinicians. Scroll down to see slideshow for more information.

We are currently seeking images of skin issues such as Callusing, Dermatitis, Epidermoid cyst, Hematoma (bruising), Keloid, Skin breakdown, Skin infection, Ulcer, Verrucous hyperplasia, Excessive pressure from a device, Hyperpigmentation from a device and Other skin issues. 

If your image is used in the handbook, we will compensate you $75. Not all images will be used. 

Here is what we need from you:

1. Take a photo of the skin issue next to the color swatch on the postcard. This is to ensure color accuracy. Refer to the tips below on taking photos of skin.

2. Click here to submit images. This link takes you to a form that will ask you to enter information about the skin issue and request your permission to use the image(s).
