MPO 5301 Lower Limb Orthotics II

Lower Limb Orthotics II (2). This course continues from MPO 5201 with lab time spent reinforcing technical and clinical skills related to orthotic intervention of the foot and leg distal to the knee. New topics will include all elements of orthotic intervention concerned with the knee itself: assessment of disability, function, and the lower extremity; formulation of an orthotic treatment plan at the knee; implementation of an orthotic treatment plan at the knee; and orthotic follow-up care. Students will consider the design of knee orthoses and will develop skills in ideal shape capture and the clinical evaluation of fit and function with those devices.
