This course offers the participant the opportunity to develop and strengthen the theoretical and practical field of prosthetic care after transfemoral (TF) amputation. The program focuses on the application of liner suspension techniques and the application of advanced components (knees, feet) for patients with high mobility demands.
This course provides broad knowledge and skills in the fabrication of liner suspended TF prostheses. Furthermore, the application of high dynamic prosthetic knees and feet complete this comprehensive program.
Focus of the theoretical content:
- Fundamentals of Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology
- Amputation techniques and indications
- Comparative options of prosthetic design and concept
- Alignment principles
- Biomechanics / human gait
- Overview about liner systems and TF components
- Material Science
Focus of the practical seminar content:
- Patient Anamnesis
- Measurement and Casting Techniques
- Plaster positive rectification
- Manufacture and fitting of a liner suspended prostheses after TF amputation
- Alignment principles
- Fitting/Testing and application of necessary corrections (problem solving)
- Gait analysis
- Outcome measures
