OPCA 2070 - Clinical Applications of Trans-Femoral Prostheses OPCA 2070 - Clinical Applications of Trans-Femoral Prostheses Hours/Week: Lecture 1 Lab 6 Course Description: This course focuses on developing the skills needed to meet the prosthetic needs of the amputee who has undergone a trans-femoral amputation. Topics include amputation levels, shape capturing, socket design, and component selection. Students will fabricate, statically align and dynamically align trans-femoral prosthesis with a fluid-controlled knee device. This course also covers knee disarticulation, hip disarticulation, and hemi-pelvectomy prostheses.
