MPO 6410 Lower Limb Orthotics II
Lower Limb Orthotics II (3). This course is a continuation of Lower Limb I that focuses on orthotic management of disorders that afflict the proximal (i.e., nearer to the center of the body) limb regions that include the knee, hip, pelvis and trunk. Topic areas covered in this course are: knee ankle foot orthoses (KAFO’s), knee orthoses (KO), hip knee ankle foot orthoses (HKAFO’s), reciprocating gait orthoses (RGO’s), externally powered orthoses, sport orthoses and pediatric and adult orthotic management. Students use each other as pseudo-patient models to fabricate and fit an array of custom orthoses.
