`Carl Caspers, CPO, has been chosen to receive
`the American Academy of Orthotists and
`Prosthetists’ (the Academy) Titus-Ferguson
`Award for lifetime achievement at the
`Academy’s 40th Annual Meeting & Scientific
`Symposium slated for February 26–March 1,
`2014, in Chicago, Illinois. The news was
`reported online December 18 by Central
`Minnesota’s St. Cloud Times.
`
`Caspers, 72, has 18 patents for liners,
`suspension sleeves, and post-operative and
`volume-management products, as well as technology for the prosthetic
`industry. The former CEO and cofounder of TEC Interface Systems, Waite
`Park, Minnesota, which he sold in 2003 to Ottobock, Minneapolis,
`Minnesota, was recognized in 2002 by Fast Company magazine as one of
`its Fast 50 Innovators. And in 2012, Caspers was inducted into the
`Minnesota Inventors Hall of Fame.
`
`According to the Academy, the award “is intended to be the highest level
`of recognition bestowed upon an outstanding academician whose
`accomplishments and contributions have made a significant impact on
`the growth and development of the profession. This highly dedicated
`individual must have demonstrated a record of sustained devotion and
`leadership to the advancement of the Academy and the orthotics and
`prosthetics profession.”
