Annotation
The course is based on "Orthotics, Prosthetics", given in the bachelor's degree. Students are introduced to indications of orthoses and prostheses and their effects on the body's statics and dynamics.
It also involves testing the aids and tools and analyzing their effects on the resulting movement.
