OPCA2040 — Clinical Applications of Spinal Orthoses
OPCA 2040 - Clinical Applications of Spinal Orthoses OPCA 2040 - Clinical Applications of Spinal Orthoses Hours/Week: Lecture 1 Lab 6 Course Description: This course focuses on the identification of spinal anatomy and pathologies to formulate a spinal orthotic treatment plan. Content includes measurement acquisition, shape-capturing techniques, and fitting of pre-made and custom-fabricated spinal orthoses. Course projects concentrate on specific fitting criteria and orthosis selection to achieve functional biomechanical control of the affected trunk segments. MnTC Goals None Spinal pathologies related anatomy biomechanics of the spine pathologies impacting the spine functional loss 2. Treatment plan formulation evaluate findings synthesize patient information design spinal orthoses communicate with team, patient, caregivers 3. Implement a treatment plan orthometry form differentiate design criteria shape-capturing techniques fabrication fitting criteria biomechanical assessment Learning
