UNIVERSITY CATALOG: 2023-2024

Course: PT 775/L. Orthotics and Prosthetics and Lab (2/1)

Prerequisite: Successful completion of all second-year coursework in the DPT Program. Corequisite: PT 775L. Designed to promote an in-depth understanding of the arthrokinematic, biomechanical, kinematic and kinetic characteristics of functional movement in patients/clients with amputations and functional loss. Students will study the biomechanical principles of upper and lower extremity orthotic and prosthetic management and apply these principles to patient/client assessment and intervention. Students are expected to integrate their knowledge and skills from previous classes when engaging in the patient/client examination, evaluation, determining a physical therapy diagnosis, prognosis, plan of care and intervention strategies consistent with evidence-based clinical decision making. Both observational and instrumented gait analyses will be emphasized when evaluating client video in the laboratory setting. Patient/client videos will include individuals diagnosed with cerebral palsy, stroke, post-polio syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, spina bifida, spinal cord injury, arthritis, amputations and traumatic brain injury.
