Introduction

Knowledge of prosthetic components, alignment and function is important for Physiotherapists. During the rehabilitation process, it is likely that the Physiotherapist will spend many hours with the amputee, much of this spent on training them to walk with their prosthesis correctly.  This week we are going to learn about prosthetics and take a look at gait analysis.

To start watch this chat with Greg Halford from the ICRC where he highlights key points about biomechanics and prosthetics (Note – watching this video is optional).

Objectives for this week

At the end of this week you should:

  • Be familiar with the kinds of prostheses available and their component parts.
  • Have an understanding of prosthetic prescription including fabrication and fitting.
  • Have an understanding of and be able to assess normal and prosthetic gait.

Topic 1: Prosthetics

The aim of this topic is to familiarise you with prosthetic terminology, polypropelene technology, component parts, prosthetic selection, measurement and casting, fitting decisions, significance of weight distribution, donning and doffing.

  1. Find out why it is important for physiotherapists to be familiar with prosthetics by reading read about polypropylene technology
  2. Read about the good quality yet cost effective polypropelene prosthetic products that the sponsor of this course, CR Equipements, produce –

    Topic 2: Gait analysis

    The aim of this topic is to provide you with knowledge to assess normal gait, prosthetic gait and gait deviations.

    1. Read the Physiopedia page

      Quiz

      You are not assessed on this quiz, it is designed for you to test your knowledge on the topics this week.
