4.00 Credits
4 credits This course focuses on examination of the human body as it is relevant to orthotics and prosthetics. Specific systems focused on will be cardiovascular, skeletal, neurological, and muscular. Particular emphasis will be placed on the extremities, the spine, and common amputation locations. 92 contact hours.
-
5.00 Credits
5 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course focuses on anatomy, numerous amputation levels (symes - transtibial), pathology, biomechanics, phases of gait, pathological gait and gait training techniques. Students will learn biomechanics of socket fit and prosthetic alignment. They will be presented prescription criteria for socket design, measuring techniques and casting techniques. Relevant case studies will be discussed to facilitate clinical problem solving skills. This course utilizes comprehensive integration of the student's knowledge of pathology, anatomy, and biomechanics to promote clinical problem solving for transtibial prosthetics. Application of technology including CAD/CAM imaging will be incorporated throughout the course projects. 137 contact hours.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course is designed so that the student will understand that the foot and ankle pathology and treatment for problems including, diabetes, neuropathy, ischemia, and infection. Each of these factors acting alone or in concert predispose the foot to ulceration when subjected to mechanical, thermal or chemical trauma. Correlation of clinical findings allow the student to understand the importance of the correct choice of materials, orthoses and prostheses for proper treatment regimens The goal of the course is to focus on the assessment, differential diagnosis and treatment strategies. Emphasis will be placed on the practical management of the patient. 122 contact hours.

5.00 Credits
5 credits Prerequisite: PRO 3310C with a "C" or better and admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course focuses on integrating knowledge of biomechanics, anatomy, pathology, material properties, and orthotic principles to solve clinical problems afflicting the lower extremity. This course is clinically based instruction in selection, measurement, and manufacture of lower limb orthotics. Students will examine, cast, and provide model patients with several devices including various plastic ankle foot orthoses, metal ankle foot orthoses, and knee-ankle-foot orthoses. The differences between taking an impression by the traditional plaster casting and CAD-CAM methods will be examined and discussed. This class will be a combined lecture lab course. 137 contact hours.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS Program or permission of the Dean. This course focuses on utilizing medical evidence and patients' exam to support clinical practical decisions. This course is clinically based on instruction in selection of prescription criteria. The course will help students gather appropriate clinical data required for good clinical practical decisions. The laboratory portion will focus on patient assessment skills. 77 contact hours.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
2-3 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program or permission of the Dean. This course will focus on the development and presentation of comprehensive orthotic/prosthetic treatment plans through the analysis and synthesis of information gleaned through the clinical evaluation and assessment process. Formulation of the treatment plan is one of the six practice domains of the orthotist prosthetist. 32 contact hours.
-
2.00 - 3.00 Credits
2-3 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course allows students to observe, assist, and practice clinical patient care and device fabrication in an environment to prepare for an orthotic or prosthetic residency. Each student will be placed at a clinical agency to practice orthotic & prosthetic skills under close supervision of an ABC prosthetist/orthotist. The student will need to compile a log book documenting their patient interactions and case analysis of their clinical experiences. The students are required to present case studies once a month to an audience of peers. The area of concentration in the clinical rotations will be on clinical assessments, technical skills, practice management; foot orthotics, ankle foot orthotics, and transtibial prosthetics including amputation surgery, post operative prostheses, static and dynamic alignment, fabrication and adjustments; spinal orthotics including, but not limited to scoliosis orthoses, TLSO, LSO, cervical orthoses, and patient evaluation; upper limb and research; lower extremity orthoses and transfemoral prosthetics including, but not limited to amputation surgery, post operative prostheses, and static and dynamic alignment. Students are encouraged to take advantage of hands on clinical exposure in each area of study to develop their clinical skills and confidence during their rotations at the approved affiliate sites. 135 contact hours.

2.00 Credits
2 credits Prerequisite: Admission into the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course focuses on the mechanical properties of various materials used in orthotics and prosthetics. Some of the materials discussed will include metals, thermoset plastics, thermoplastics, open and closed celled foams. 32 contact hours.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisite: Admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS Program. This course provides the student with an understanding of the research process. The student will develop techniques used in scientific research to critically evaluate scientific papers with regard to the measurements and methods used. The student will learn to formulate a simple research project and employ quantitative testing methods to reach conclusions. 32 contact hours.
-
4.00 - 5.00 Credits
4-5 credits Prerequisite: PRO 3301 with a grade of "C" or better and admission to the Orthotics and Prosthetics BAS program. This course focuses on anatomy, biomechanics and prosthetic principles of transfemoral, hip disarticulation and hemipelvectomy amputations. Students will learn biomechanics of the socket fit and prosthetic alignment. This course requires comprehensive integration of the students knowledge of anatomy, biomechanics and prosthetic principles. Students will learn to take an impression, rectify the model, fabricate a check and a definitive prosthesis, and perform diagnostic and final fittings. 122 contact hours.
