Students integrate orthotics, prosthetics, and braces typically encountered in physical therapy into practice management of patients with multiple movement disorders across the lifespan. Functional and surgical anatomy of upper and lower limb amputations and conditions requiring lower quarter orthotic and prosthetic intervention are presented. Lab activities emphasize gait analysis, movement analysis, residual limb management, orthotic and prosthetic management, amputee rehabilitation, and gait training.
