Notes:
Curriculum Development for new Master of Science program in Prosthetics and Orthotics, including initial development of 14 new courses 2 Taught in Oxford, England with Georgia Tech summer study abroad program

Summer 1999-Fall 2002

New Georgia Tech Courses Developed:
Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury (HPS 3803) details the physiological loading of tissues in the muscular and skeletal system and mechanisms of injury to these tissues. Kinesiology (HPS 3803) was developed for the Oxford summer study abroad program. Describes human movement from a mechanical and developmental sense over the lifespan. Clinical Gait Analysis (APPH 6202) is a lecture/lab course focusing on clinical analysis of normal and pathological locomotion, including anatomical descriptions and instrumentation. CAD/CAM in Prosthetics and Orthotics (APPH 6223) is a laboratory-based course analyzing theoretical and applied function of computer-aided design and manufacture in the prosthetics and orthotics industry. In addition, designed curriculum for a total of 19 new MSPO courses.

Other Courses Taught:

Kinesiological Basis of Human Movement (HPS 4200) is a lecture/lab course focusing on system-level mechanics of normal and pathological human movement Special Problems (HPS 3901-3904) is a variable-credit offering (usually 1-2 credit hours) in which selected students assist with laboratory-based studies. Prior permission of instructor is required. Over the past few years, I have averaged 2-3 students per year in this course.
