Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of this course is for physiotherapist candidate students to; Biomechanical principles of orthoses, evaluations before and after orthosis application, orthosis applications for upper-lower extremities, columna vertebralis segments, orthosis use in musculoskeletal and nervous system diseases, orthosis control and orthosis rehabilitation, definition of prosthesis, causes of amputation, prosthetic feet, syme prostheses , below-knee prostheses, congenital anomalies, gait disorders in lower extremity amputations, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in lower extremity amputations, upper extremity amputations, amputation levels, prosthetic approaches, and prosthetic rehabilitation.

Course Content:

Theoretical information about orthoses, foot deformities, foot deformity orthoses, foot-ankle orthoses (AFOs), knee orthoses, knee-ankle-foot orthoses (KAFOs), hip subluxation orthoses, limb shortness orthoses, hip-knee -ankle-foot orthoses (KHAFOs), rehabilitation processes in lower extremity orthoses, static and dynamic hand-wrist orthoses, elbow and shoulder joint orthoses, spinal orthoses, scoliosis orthoses, rehabilitation processes in upper extremity orthoses, definition of prostheses, parts of prostheses recognition, definition of amputation, amputation levels, ensuring prosthesis compatibility in amputees, socket types in prostheses, suspension systems in prostheses, congenital anomalies and prostheses, gait disorders seen in amputees using prosthesis, preoperative rehabilitation in amputees, postoperative rehabilitation in amputees, preprosthetic rehabilitation in amputees, post-prosthetic rehabilitation in amputees, myoelectric prostheses.
