专业简介
Overview
Prosthetics and orthotics is the clinical discipline related to the provision of prostheses (artificial limbs) to people with amputations, and orthoses (supportive devices), to people with musculoskeletal weakness or neurological disorders. You will acquire theoretical knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and prosthetic and orthotic prescription, design and fabrication, enhanced by strong practical skills in research methodology, clinical assessment, and the application of prosthetic and orthotic techniques.
In first year, you will develop skills in foot and ankle orthotics, upper-limb orthotics, transtibial prosthetics, upper limb prosthetics and clinically applied research. This is followed by 12 months of clinical theory and practice, with a focus on trans-femoral prosthetics and above-knee orthotics, while primarily located in a clinical environment.
Clinical practice and theory may be held outside official University semester dates.
The qualification awarded on graduation is recognised in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) as Level 9.
Career outcomes
The prosthetist/orthotist consults with other health care professionals as a member of a clinical team, in examining patients, advising on the types and effectiveness of prosthetic and orthotic devices, pre-surgical planning, and the evaluation of the end result of prosthetic/orthotic treatment. Once you graduate, you will have a range of career opportunities in major hospitals and private commercial companies. Good employment opportunities are generally available both within Australia and overseas, in developed and developing countries.
Professional recognition
Graduates of Master of Clinical Prosthetics and Orthotics may be eligible to apply for membership with Australian Orthotic Prosthetic Association and the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics. Professional membership may be subject to additional or ongoing requirements beyond completion of the degree. Please contact the relevant professional body for details.
