... United Kingdom
... University of Salford

Course Overview

Prosthetists provide artificial limbs to assist people who have part or all of a limb missing. Orthotists provide braces and splints to support, correct, or aid the function of people with various conditions of the neurological, muscular and skeletal systems. On this course you will learn how to assess and treat people requiring prosthetic and orthotic care. Prosthetists and Orthotists are highly skilled in biomechanics, human movement and gait analysis. The strong practical elements of this course will be taught in conjunction with relevant theory and background information.

We are one of the only two universities in the UK offering this course. 

You will:

  • Learn how to assess, diagnose and treat people requiring prosthetic and orthotic care

  • Gradually acquire a greater depth of learning and increased competency in dealing with people, meeting their needs and deciding on the most effective treatment to offer

  • Spend time in clinical placements where you will get the chance to see real patients wearing their prostheses and orthoses
