This
course contains two parts---prosthetics and orthotics for upper extremity. The
lectures introduces basic features, constructions, types, check-out and
training programs in prosthetics. The indications, designing and fabricating of
splints and orthoses will also be illustrated. Furthermore, the general
concepts of L/E and other orthoses will be included. The practice, going along
with the topics of lectures, will provide
substantial operation in clinical usage. We hope the students of occupational
therapy will get more understandings and experiences about prosthetics and
orthotics in this course.
