Introduction to Veterinary Orthotics and Prosthetics

This course provides an introduction to use of orthotic and prosthetic devices in animal rehabilitation, recovery and stability. We’ll focus on canines, the major recipients of animal O&P products and rehabilitation. O&P practitioners work in tandem with veterinarians to assess, design and develop treatment, and to assist with follow-up care. O&P practitioners may also find employment with animal-specific device manufacturers.
