Purpose and Content

The aim of the course	It aims to teach the principles of correction in the hand, wrist, and elbow (upper Extremity) orthopedic diseases and/or deformities, the design, production, and application of orthoses, and the design, production, and application of orthoses suitable for foot, knee, and hip group muscle paralysis and traumatic situations involving lower extremities.
Course Content	In the light of basic information about the basic anatomical and biomechanical alignment of the upper Extremity, theoretical and practical information on common pathologies, problems that require the use of orthoses and it contains the basic principles of orthoses used to eliminate these problems, production stages, application to the patient, modification, adaptation, and repair.

Learning Outcomes

To have the basic theoretical and practical knowledge about prosthetic orthoses.
To access information on the basic level about Prosthetic and orthotic devices and To have knowledge about evaluation to apply.
To have the knowledge of the principles and rules on prostheses and orthoses ethics.
To have knowledge on Prosthetics and Orthotics applications.
To Know the component parts of Orthotic and prosthetic materials.
To have knowledge on the basic theoretical and practical informations on prosthetics and orthotics.
To interpret and evaluate by using the data on the basic knowledge and skills on Prostheses and orthoses, to identifies problems and to analyze and make plans for the solution.
To use the basic computer programs, and related technologies for the construction of prostheses and orthoses and administered to the patient.
To contribute the Prosthetics and orthotics-related data collection, interpretation, implementation and results of the scientific community.
Students can create the aesthetic and functional orthoses people who lost arms and legs for various reasons and to hold the location and function of the limb prostheses pain relieving musculoskeletal and nervous system pathologies of interest, the function enhancer, mobilizing, and supporting remedial purposes.
Students can carry out a given task bu using the basic knowledge about using the stand-alone or part of a team about Prostheses and orthoses.
Students acts according to the rules of professional ethics ,duties, rights and responsibilities, and related laws, regulations, legislations.
Students Specifies information about the shortcomings of prosthetic and orthotic, seeks the elimination of deficiencies and shortcomings of the fixes.
Students are conscious Individual and public health, environmental protection and occupational safety.
Students informs the relevant people and institutions using the basic knowledge and skills on Prostheses and orthoses and gives suggestions for solutions to problems in written and oral means.
Students have extensive experience of working with other health care disciplines.
Students works on hands, arms, feet, legs, like the case of loss of limb, artificial organs, which will perform the functions of these organs (prostheses) for any reason, or functionally promote, protect and applied to parts of the body that must be corrected assistive devices (orthoses).
Students takes measurements for the construction of prosthetic and orthotic patients, the resulting measurement model to process and take responsibility to make adjustments to make it into the prosthesis or orthosis.
