Technology is central to the treatment of orthopedic and rehabilitation patients, and there is an ever-increasing range of devices designed to help improve patients' lives. This course has been designed by experts in the fields of orthopedics, biomechanics, and rehabilitation technology to reflect contemporary knowledge and practice in these fields. Throughout the course, you'll learn how underlying principles of orthopedic and rehabilitation technology can be applied in a clinical setting. You'll learn about fundamental mechanics and specific engineering concepts related to orthopedic devices and treatments. This will allow you to objectively assess technological approaches to the treatment of orthopedic disease, trauma, and deformity.

Students normally require a degree in science, engineering or a medically-related professional qualification in, for example, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, orthotics, prosthetics, nursing or medicine.
