GENERAL GOALS
Conceptual objectives. At the end of the course the student should be able to:
- Apply knowledge of biomechanics and pathology in the orthotic treatment.
- Manage biomechanical concepts and apply them to the design of an orthotic.
- Designing different orthoses.
- Manage different types of materials used in the manufacture of orthotics.
- Knowledge of the application of a variety of upper limb orthosis.
- Apply ergonomic considerations in patient management during the preparation of an orthotic.

- Apply theoretical knowledge of design and prescription of orthotics to daily clinical practice.
- Develop skills to solve problems that may arise during the design of an orthotic or during
orthotic intervention plan.
- To apply the acquired theoretical and practical knowledge to generate new ideas and designs
appropriate to different types of pathologies of the hand.
- Communicate and transmit information about the use of orthoses to people without
knowledge of the subject (users, families, carers, ...)
