Science and technology are integral to the treatment of patients in orthopaedics and rehabilitation. This course will give students a strong and wide-ranging understanding of the fundamental physical sciences relating to orthopaedic surgery, as well as developing your knowledge of modern treatment options for patients.
They'll start by exploring the basic scientific principles supporting orthopaedic sciences. This includes rigid body mechanics and structural mechanics, which will give students an understanding of the basic mathematics and mechanics of motion and forces. Later in the course, they will be introduced to statistics and learn how to record and interpret data related to orthopaedic science.
Once students have covered the basics, they'll focus on biomechanics, covering skeletal and tissue mechanics, and learn how these can be measured to identify and quantify disorders.
Students will then explore rehabilitation technology, looking at prosthetics, orthortics, and mobility aids. They'll learn about the design, fabrication and use of these devices, and how they are prescribed to patients following an evaluation of their condition. Students will also learn how these devices work following surgery, with a more in-depth look at arthroplasty surgery, and consider implications of using particular devices as part of a treatment plan.
