Goals	The aim of this course is to teach the mechanical properties, biomechanical effects, balance, motion control of materials used in prosthesis and orthotics construction, and biomechanical factors and analyzes.
Course Content	It includes biomechanical principles in orthotic and prosthetic applications, mechanical properties of materials used in orthotics and prosthetics, biomechanical effects on the patients, biomechanical adjustment and balance, movement control and the relationship between performance with different activities, biomechanical factors and analyzes required for optimal functional capacity.
Learning Outcomes	1) The student who successfully completes this course; performs mechanical analysis of various prostheses or orthoses, along with biomechanical principles used in the field of prosthetics and orthotics. 2) The material used in the prosthetics and orthotics field knows the properties of the fittings and makes the appropriate choice for the patient. 3) Analyzes the effect of biomechanical settings on walking in lower extremity prostheses and develops solutions. 4) Performs biomechanical analyzes of upper extremity orthoses and prostheses. 5) Comprehends, analyzes and interprets the biomechanical reasons for the increase in the patient's energy consumption.
