 | | This course includes the necessary knowledge and extensive coverage of the upper limb amputation. Topics to be covered will include the level of amputation, causes of amputation and in addition to the modern and contemporary methods the world has reached in the rehabilitation of those amputees taking into account the patient’s social, professional and cosmetic needs . Special emphasis will be put on the training of students on the design and manufacturing of upper limb prosthesis for trans-radial amputations and its different types such as mechanical, myoelectrical, and cosmetic prosthesis. | 2013/2014 |
| | This course includes the basic and specialized knowledge of upper extremity prosthetics including upper extremity biomechanics. This course will concentrate on the design and manufacture of trans-humeral prosthetics and its different types such as myoelectrical, mechanical, and cosmetic prosthesis | |
| | This course covers the properties of the materials used in the manufacturing of prosthetics and orthotics . This will include knowing the materials' physical, and working properties and how to work with them. This includes polymers, metal and wooden materials. | 2013/2014 |
| | This course provides basic skills in tanking casts for amputees at the
level of below the knee using different techniques and understanding
the theoretical concepts beyond these designs. The course will also
cover how to shape and modify molds based on biomechanical
principles. | 2018 |
| | Students will be trained on how to accurately measurement, cast, and
modify the PTB socket. Students will be then trained on how to
assemble the prosthesis and aligning it correctly on actual patients.
| 2017 |
| | This course covers the pathologics leading to upper extremity
amputations, amputation levels, and the prostheses used for wrist
disarticulation, trans-radial, elbow disarticulation, trans-humeral (above
the elbow), shoulder disarticulation prostheses and their components,
control systems, and the biomechanical principles related to them. | 2018 |
| | The course will focus on the fabrication techniques of subracondoylar
socket for below elbow amputation that is commonly used for cosmetic
and myoelectric prostheses. Then students will be then training on the
processes of finalising the cosmetic prostheses. The course will also
introduce students to Utah dynamic socket and training in the prosthesis
of its fabrication. Students will be then trained on manufacturing
cosmetic prostheses for actual patients and evaluating their fit. | 2018 |
| | This course covers the theoretical principles of myoelectric control that
is used commonly to control electrically powered terminal devices.
Students will be introduced to the electromyography and the methods
of its processing and the different control strategies that can be used.

The course will focus on pre and post prosthetic training and prosthetic
evaluation methods. | 2018 |
| | The course will focus on the fabrication techniques of myoelectric
prostheses for below elbow amputation. Students will be provided the
basic knowladge and skills on how to train amputees on prostheic use. | 2018 |
