Specifics include but are not limited to: range of motion and goniometry; limb strength and manual muscle testing; prosthetic and orthotic gait analysis; clinical outcome measurement tools; and anthropometric measurements related to the implementation of a prosthetic or orthotic treatment plan. This course includes lab hours to develop these clinical skills.
