DPT 6451 Pathological Gait: Physical Therapy, Orthotic, and Prosthetic Principles
Lecture: 2 Lab: 1 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 3
This course builds on the foundational sciences of anatomy, biomechanics, and kinesiology for the performance of advanced movement analyses of pathological gait and other basic functional movements. Conditions requiring lower quarter orthotic and prosthetic intervention will be presented, along with detailed management of patients with these conditions, including pre/post op care, examination/evaluation, device design and prescription, and proper fitting and training with devices. Outcome measures commonly performed in patients with gait deficits will be covered in this course. Lab activities emphasize pathological movement analysis, motion analysis technology, and rehabilitation for the person utilizing orthotics or prosthetics.
Prerequisite(s): Successful completion of Quarter 3 courses
