Foundations of Spinal Orthoses

Identify key skeletal anatomy, connective tissue, and surface anatomical landmarks critical to orthotic design and application

Analyze fracture classifications to assess fracture types, mechanisms of injury, and spinal instability

Integrate biomechanical principles to inform clinical decision-making in the selection and implementation of spinal orthotic interventions

Evaluate anatomical factors to guide the selection of appropriate spinal orthosis designs for individual patient needs

Develop patient-centered orthotic management strategies through interdisciplinary collaboration and coordination

Describe current evidence that is helping to shape care for relevant patient populations
