ORTE 1050 - Stirrup Layout and Fabrication Credits: 3 Hours/Week: Lecture None Lab None Course Description: This course introduces the musculoskeletal system and examines body movements and planes that divide the human body. In the laboratory setting, students integrate this theoretical knowledge with practical orthotic theory to correct a tracing of the lower-limb and fabricate a stirrup, shaping and attaching it to the patient’s shoe to accommodate ankle deformities. MnTC Goals None
Prerequisite(s): ORTE 1040 or concurrent enrollment. Corequisite(s): None Recommendation: None
Major Content
- Musculoskeletal system of the human body body systems bony landmarks body planes major body bones pronunciation of anatomical terminology
- Lower-limb biomechanics biomechanics bony landmarks
- Lower-limb tracings lower-limb orthometry form procedure for lower-limb tracing
- Stirrups to orthopedic shoes fabrication and attachment anatomical ankle movement stirrup placement diagrams layout of solid stirrups layout of split stirrups attachment to shoe
Learning Outcomes At the end of this course students will be able to:
- identify the basic musculo-skeletal system of the human body.
- identify lower-limb biomechanics.
- correct tracings of the lower limb.
