ORTE 1070 - Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthoses Fabrication

Credits: 5
Hours/Week: Lecture 1Lab 8
Course Description: The focus of this course is the requisite skills for proper layout and correction for a knee-ankle-foot orthoses and hip-knee-ankle-foot orthoses. Lab work consists of fabrication of three types of knee-ankle-foot orthoses, with and without tibial torsion and growth extension.
