Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics of the human body.

Comply with regulations regarding the confidentiality of the clinical information of the patients treated in the clinical practices

Objectives and Contextualisation

Within the professional work of the physiotherapist, the use of prosthesis and ortesis by patients is quite common.

We believe appropriate specific knowledge regarding the indication and evaluation of these elements therapeutic.

Competences

  • Analyse and synthesise.
  • Clearly and effectively communicate orally and in writing with all users of the healthcare system, and with other professionals.
  • Easily recognise and cope with changes.
  • Evaluate the evolution of the results obtained from the treatment in relation to the objectives.
  • Organise and plan.
  • Respect diversity in ideas, people and situations
  • Show sensitivity to environmental issues.
  • Work effectively and cooperatively in multidisciplinary professional teams.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Analyse and synthesise.
  2. Assess results and their relation to the objectives set, through real cases within the different clinical specialisations.
  3. Describe patients' functional needs to orthopaedic technicians, patients and the rest of the therapy team, taking into account the chances of making progress with orthoprosthetic technical aids.
  4. Display knowledge of the processes for making and adapting upper and lower limb prostheses and trunk and limb orthoses.
  5. Display teamwork skills, ability to work in coordination with the rest of the team, specifically with the prosthetist, the rehabilitation physician and, where appropriate with the occupational therapist.
  6. Easily recognise and cope with changes.
  7. Organise and plan.
  8. Respect diversity in ideas, people and situations.
  9. Show sensitivity to environmental issues.
