| Objectives: | The aim of this course is to provide students with fundamental clinical knowledge about the causes and levels of lower extremity amputations and to teach the principles of prosthesis design and application appropriate to the level of amputation. In addition, the course aims to develop students’ ability to select appropriate prosthetic components, perform correct application techniques, and identify and resolve biomechanical problems that may arise as a result of improper applications. |
| Content: | In the course, prosthetic systems developed for each amputation level (such as partial foot, Syme, transtibial, transfemoral, etc.) are examined based on the etiology and level-specific classifications of lower extremity amputations. The content includes prosthetic design criteria, socket and suspension options, criteria for proper prosthetic application, gait deviations and clinical problems encountered due to improper applications, and modification techniques aimed at resolving these problems. |
