OPCA 2060 - Clinical Applications of Trans-Tibial Prostheses II Credits: 4 Hours/Week: Lecture None Lab None Course Description: This course will focus on trans-tibial casting techniques with variations in socket designs and suspensions. It also covers the biomechanics of the trans-tibial limb, recordkeeping, fabrication, and static and dynamic alignment of the trans-tibial prostheses. The students will fit various trans-tibial type prostheses with a variety of modular components. MnTC Goals None
