In this degree, you'll explore topics such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and prosthetic and orthotic prescription, design and fabrication. You'll hone your skills through clinical teaching at our purpose-built onsite clinic, then take what you've learned into the real world with clinical placements at external prosthetic and orthotic facilities and industry partners.
You'll choose from two minor options – an industry minor, or a research minor – and graduate with the skills you need to become a qualified health professional.
By completing La Trobe's Bachelor of Prosthetics and Orthotics (Honours), you will:
- learn the theoretical basis and clinical practice of prosthetic and orthotic management, including treatment, assessment and prescriptions in children and adults
- examine research and data, and how it relates to consumers
- practice and apply the assessment, prescription, manufacture and fit of prostheses and orthoses
- understand the importance of wellbeing in a person's healthcare journey, and how health professionals can work together to achieve the best outcome.
