4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to upper-limb amputation anatomy and upper-limb measurement forms. Students will identify upper-limb components used in the prosthetic industry and fabricate a long trans-radial, short trans-radial, and trans-humeral prostheses. Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will cover human gait and the biomechanics of gait. The student will also study human anatomy and pathologies that relate to the spine, lower and upper extremities. They will learn to select and fit all classifications of prefabricated orthotic devices to these pathologies. Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on developing knowledge and skills required to work in offices and manufacturing focused on orthotic, prosthetic, or pedorthic patients and products. Topics include the orthotic, prosthetic, and pedorthic profession, terminology used within the industry, HIPAA, ethical behavior, and specialized coding and billing. Special emphasis will be placed on developing the background knowledge for Medicare billing system specific to orthotics, prosthetics and pedorthics. Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent Recommendation(s): Medical Office Support Certificate or concurrently enrolled or current employment in an orthotic, prosthetic or pedorthic office with employer recommendation.
-
4.00 Credits
This course concentrates on the effects of disease, trauma and malformation of the foot complex related to functional loss in the foot and ankle. Projects include the design, fabrication, and fitting of functional and supportive orthotic devices. The skills required to formulate a treatment plan based on a patient evaluation are introduced. MN Human Services background study with no restrictions will be required. Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the pathological effects of disease, trauma, and malformation of the lower limb and relates it to functional loss. Content includes patient evaluation, shape-capturing techniques, measurement acquisition, and lab skills to successfully design, fabricate, and fit several types of lower limb orthoses. Gait is analyzed to evaluate lower extremity function and treatment outcomes. Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent.
-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses on the identification of spinal anatomy and pathologies to formulate a spinal orthotic treatment plan. Content includes measurement acquisition, shape-capturing techniques, and fitting of pre-made and custom-fabricated spinal orthoses. Course projects concentrate on specific fitting criteria and orthosis selection to achieve functional biomechanical control of the affected trunk segments. Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent.

-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the clinical aspects of the prosthetic profession. The emphasis is on developing patient management skills. Topics include lower extremity anatomy, causes of trans-tibial amputations, and amputation levels. During this course, patient models are utilized for the evaluation, design, fabrication, and fitting of a trans-tibial prosthesis. Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent.
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on advancing patient management skills used in the prosthetic profession. The emphasis is on treatment goals, component selection, and meeting the functional needs of the trans-tibial amputee. Topics include biomechanics, shape capturing techniques, prosthetic socket designs, and dynamic alignment. During this course, patient models are utilized for the evaluation, design, fabrication, and fitting of temporary trans-tibial prostheses. Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent.
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on developing the skills needed to meet the prosthetic needs of the amputee who has undergone a trans-femoral amputation. Topics include amputation levels, shape capturing, socket design, and component selection. Students will fabricate, statically align and dynamically align trans-femoral prosthesis with a fluid-controlled knee device. This course also covers knee disarticulation, hip disarticulation, and hemi-pelvectomy prostheses. Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent.
