Goals	To teach evaluations that can be made in terms of determining the problems caused by the patient or prosthesis in the process from the construction of the prosthesis to the rehabilitation of the patients using prostheses and afterwards; in the selection of treatment approaches; production, principles to be considered in biomechanics and rehabilitation dimensions, and prosthetic modifications in practice that may be appropriate.
Course Content	It includes appropriate prosthetic approaches, fabrication, biomechanics and rehabilitation dimension in clinical decision making. The factors that affect the selection of methods and the importance of research methodology in clinical decision making are discussed.
Learning Outcomes	1) Produces prostheses of patients and solves the problems that may occur during its production. 2) Determines the current capacity and functional status of patients. 3) Analyzes the factors related to the selection of prosthesis suitable for the current situation. 4) Makes and lists the production of the prosthesis and fittings suitable for the patient's characteristics. 5) Makes the association between the evaluation methods of prosthesis patients and the effective use of the prosthesis by the patient. Makes planning for each of the production, biomechanical and rehabilitative stages when necessary. 6) Gains the skills of solving the problems that may occur during the use of the prosthesis required by the patient with the biomechanical dimension and orientation with the rehabilitation dimension. 7) Makes modifications to the prosthesis according to the activities that the patient will do with the prosthesis, plans it in a way that will increase the patient's quality of life. 8) Educates the patient and family about the care of the prosthesis. 9) Communicates correctly with the patient and gives confidence. 10) Collects, records, reports, analyzes and presents the evaluation results of the patients.
