OPCA2060 — Clinical Applications of Trans-Tibial Prostheses II
OPCA 2060 - Clinical Applications of Trans-Tibial Prostheses II OPCA 2060 - Clinical Applications of Trans-Tibial Prostheses II Hours/Week: Lecture 1 Lab 6 Course Description: This course focuses on advancing patient management skills used in the prosthetic profession. The emphasis is on treatment goals, component selection, and meeting the functional needs of the trans-tibial amputee. Topics include biomechanics, shape capturing techniques, prosthetic socket designs, and dynamic alignment. During this course, patient models are utilized for the evaluation, design, fabrication, and fitting of temporary trans-tibial prostheses. MnTC Goals None demonstrate variations in total contact/total surface-bearing socket designs. describe biomechanics of normal gait and amputee gait. select components. fit trans-tibial prosthesis.
