RHB PO 511 Upper Limb Prosthetics I (4)
Covers upper limb prosthetics providing students with background knowledge of rehabilitation planning and principles of below elbow prosthetic management and prescription consideration. With direct patient contact, students assess and then formulate, implement, and evaluate a prosthetic treatment plan. Offered: A.

RHB PO 512 Upper Limb Prosthetics II (4)
Integrates principles from upper limb prosthetics I, focusing on above-elbow prosthetic management. Encourages critical thinking and appropriate clinical decision-making through discussions and case study exercises that include body-powered, externally-powered, and hybrid systems. Offered: Sp.

RHB PO 515 Upper Limb Orthotics (3)
Focuses on the integration of information acquired in previous foundational courses in anatomy and patient evaluation procedures with knowledge and skills of orthotic principles and theories related to upper limb orthotic interventions and patient management.

RHB PO 521 Lower Limb Prosthetics and Orthotics I: Theory and Application (5)
Integrates prior core foundational knowledge (anatomy, kinesiology, medical science, gait analysis, patient evaluation procedures, and functional skills) with new knowledge of prosthetic and orthotic theory, patient evaluation, and clinical practice. Analyzes, evaluates, and synthesizes principles and theories in developing intervention plans for individuals with lower limb dysfunction or amputation. Offered: S.

RHB PO 522 Lower Limb Prosthetics I: Clinical Practice (4)
Explains and applies biomechanical principles of prosthetic gait and alignment to treatment of individuals with amputations below the knee. Students develop individualized treatment plans that demonstrate analysis of client needs, application of transtibial socket design, prescription principles, and components. Integrates knowledge of available research and protocols into the planning process. Offered: S.

RHB PO 523 Lower Limb Orthotics I: Clinical Practice (4)
Utilizes patient evaluation skills and applies knowledge of pathology, anatomy, biomechanics, and orthotic theory and principles to evaluate and provide orthotic treatment plans for individuals with lower extremity dysfunction. Students refine professional skills and behavior and develop psychomotor and cognitive skills required for patient care. Offered: S.

RHB PO 524 Lower Limb Prosthetics and Orthotics II: Theory and Application (5)
Integrates prior foundational knowledge acquired in RHB PO 521 with new knowledge and skills of prosthetic and orthotic theory and practice. Students actively analyze, evaluate, and synthesize principles and theories in the development of prosthetics/orthotics intervention plans for individuals with lower limb dysfunction or amputation.
