OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The objective of this course is to enable students to identify the causes and levels of lower and upper extremity amputations, explain amputation and prosthetic methods applied from past to present, distinguish appropriate prosthetic approaches according to amputation levels, analyze prosthetic applications through basic clinical examples, and apply entry-level knowledge and skills related to prosthetics.
Contents of the Course Unit:	The course content defines fundamental information and components of prostheses used following lower and upper extremity amputations, explains the procedures involved in the prosthesis fabrication process, analyzes appropriate prosthetic applications according to amputation levels, and enables students to perform basic-level prosthetic fabrication procedures.
