KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)

Defines the fundamental concepts of prosthetic science, the causes of lower extremity amputations, and level-specific classifications.
Explains the different types of prostheses used according to amputation levels, including components (socket, joints, foot) and suspension systems.
Plans appropriate prosthetic designs for lower extremity amputation levels and performs the assembly of prosthetic components.
Performs the necessary static and dynamic alignments in prosthetic applications to improve the patient’s gait efficiency.
Compares different prosthetic designs and component technologies according to their technical features and patient needs.
Analyzes mechanical, biomechanical, and skin-related problems arising from lower extremity prosthesis use and distinguishes their causes.
Develops a comprehensive prosthetic application strategy in clinical cases by synthesizing the amputation level, activity level, and lifestyle of the patient.
