3 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course focuses on the pathophysiology, clinical signs and symptoms associated with numerous diseases and traumatic injuries as they relate to the practice of orthotics and prosthetics. Clinical Pathology provides a comprehensive foundation to build the students knowledge of specific clinical disorders. Each problem is presented in terms of the diagnoses, tests, treatment regimes, rehabilitation, prognosis and its morbidity. Students will learn the proper method to review case materials (history, physical exam, laboratory data, etc), to develop differential diagnoses for a specific patient presentation. Relevant case studies are presented to develop an understanding of the role of the prosthetist and orthotist in the rehabilitation process. Students will also participate in small groups for a review of the literature, to provide an in depth study of recent research on the major diseases encountered in a clinical orthotic/prosthetic practice. 47 contact hours.
