Subject outline
In this subject, students will further develop foundation skills necessary to plan simple research projects. Facilitated seminars lead students to critically examine thematically related research and provide an opportunity to consider common issues with research design; discuss alternatives to reduce bias and improve methodological quality using more complex research designs. Upon successful completion of the subject, students will have the ability to critically read and appraise a range of research common to prosthetics and orthotics and use this to plan and justify a research project in subsequent units and in their future practice.
