| | This course provides basic skills in the field of prosthetics and orthotics including:
casting, using plaster, cast modification, drilling, trimming, welding, bending, riveting, cutting and using the different prosthetics and orthotics machinery and tools.
In addition, students will learn how to relate the characteristics of the three major types of materials, wood, metal and plastic, to their use in prosthetic and orthotic appliances.

| | This course elaborates on the skills that students have learnt in Prosthetics and Orthotics Practical Skills I course. Practically, students will learn how to reflect the theoretical knowledge they have gained through other courses (biomechanics and
anatomy) into their skills in building a prosthetic or orthotic device | 2020-2023 |
| | Students will be trained on how to accurately assess a patient with below knee amputation. In addition, student will learn the way by which accurate measurements, stump casting, cast modification and socket designing are performed. Students will be then trained on how to assemble the prosthesis and align it correctly to fit patient's needs. | 2021-2023 |
| | students will go through the process of assessing patients on need of below knee prosthesis all through until delivery of the prosthesis. Students' skills will be further developed and challenged through being the central focus of the course. In particular, students, under minimal supervision, will assess, discuss, decide, fabricate and deliver prostheses to patients. Meanwhile, students should show an evidenced based practice all through this process and should be able to defend their choices. | 2021-2023 |
| | Through this course, the students' expertise in clinical service
delivery to patients undergoing treatment will be challenged and developed. Last but not least, students' communication skills, professionalism, team work capability, evidencebased practice, critical thinking and work under pressure will be developed | 2012-2023 |
| | This course covers different types of trans-femoral (above the knee), knee and hip
disarticulation prostheses. Their different components, fabrication techniques and the
biomechanical principles related to them will also be covered. Students will learn the
science behind building a prosthesis that would very much resemble the functions of a
normal extremity | 2017-2022 |
| | This course covers areas related to equipping the students with a clinical training on
how to fabricate different types of frequently prescribed above knee prostheses. This would include accurate assessment of the amputee, taking required measurement and performing different techniques of casting. Students will be then trained on how to assemble the prosthesis and align it correctly on actual patients | 2012-2023 |
| | The aim of the clinical placement is to provide the students with experiences of clinical management and the ability to deliver a well-functioning above knee prosthesis in the clinical environment. | 2012-2023 |
