At the end of this course, the students; 1) Recognizes the components that make up the prosthesis and can follow and direct the prosthesis construction stages. 2) Can detect complications that may occur due to amputation and prosthesis applications, problems accompanying amputation and posture and gait disorders in amputee. 3) Can plan and implement the appropriate treatment program in the amputer. 4) Can plan and apply the necessary evaluations according to the rehabilitation stages in patients with prosthetic indications. 5) In patients using prostheses, they can check the compliance of the prosthesis, make the necessary biomechanical adjustments and analyze the results. 6) Gains awareness of advanced technological applications in prosthetics and rehabilitation.
