Workshop

Clinical Examination and Orthotic Treatment of the Upper Limbs

Orthoses are designed to relieve, stabilise or guide the movement of muscles, bones or joints. They can be adjusted to allow controlled movement or to restrict freedom of movement in order to immobilise a joint. As an expert in prosthetics and orthotics, you will identify the affected area of the body, e.g. using a plaster cast or a 3D scan, and take charge of manufacturing and fitting the orthosis. The wide range of indications requires in-depth knowledge of pathophysiological mechanisms and biomechanical principles. You will gain an overview of aspects of manufacturing an individual orthosis as well as valuable tips for practical patient treatment.
