PROSTHESIS AND ORTHOSIS

Course Objective

The aim of this lecture is to identify human movement by synthesizing functional anatomy and mechanical principles and to teach the segmental neural control of task oriented activities and energy mechanisms.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   The student may define human movement based on mechanical principles
2   The student may define neural control mechanisms of movement and energy support systems
3   The student may conduct exercise selection using biomechanical principles and analyze its effects.
4   The student may design patient and disease specific exercises and modify them.
5   The student may conduct mechanical and functional analyses for all human joints.
