PATHOPHYSIOLOGY FOR PROSTHETICS AND ORTHOTICS
HBS3PPO
2015
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject the concepts of human structure and function, introduced in HBS1HBA and HBS1HBB, will be applied to disease processes. This subject provides the student with the fundamental principles and concepts of disease. Emphasis begins with general pathophysiological processes including cell injury, cell adaptations, inflammation, infection, tissue healing, immunological disorders, neoplasia, oedema, thrombosis, embolism, atherosclerosis and infarction. Specific pathological conditions of body systems pertinent to prosthetics and orthotics, in particular, cardiovascular, renal, skeletal, respiratory and central nervous systems, along with diabetes, will be addressed.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes
01. Apply the principles of General Pathology to selected disorders and reparative states. You will be able to: a) Describe and understand the cellular and biochemical changes that underlie the development of tissue injury, cellular death, cellular adaptations, acute and chronic inflammation, healing in various tissues, immunological disorders, benign tumours, malignant tumours, oedema, thrombosis, embolism, infarction, atherosclerosis and aneurysms. b) Describe how these above general pathologic processes impact on possible clinical courses and outcomes.
- Activities:
- Students will undertake two online quizzes that are open-book and purely visual with images taken directly from either interactive sessions (lectures) or workshop/tutorials. Cumulative Case Study Enquiries will also be undertaken in Workshop/Tutorials and these Enquiries reflect what is covered in interactive sessions (lectures); however, there will also be extra content that will not be covered in lectures. All Workshop/tutorials will involve the use of clicker technology. Students undertake these Workshops/Tutorials in teams comprising 4 individuals. There is no formal assessment of these Workshop/Tutorials; they are solely to re-enforce and complement interactive session (lecture) content.

02. Apply the principles of General Pathology to diseases of selected body systems. Describe and understand the cellular and biochemical changes that underlie the development of: ischaemic heart disease, hypertension and vascular disorders, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma and asbestos disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathies and CNS tumours, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, osteomyelitis and osteosarcoma, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. In doing so, you will be able to relate these above changes to the likely clinical course of an afflicted individual.

03. Explore the clinical presentation of pathophysiology concepts and develop an understanding of clinical techniques in prosthetics and orthotics that will be suitable to address pertinent characteristics of different pathological processes.
- Activities:
- Students will explore the clinical presentation of pathophysiology concepts covered in interactive sessions and tutorials and develop an understanding of clinical techniques suitable to address pertinent characteristics of different pathological processes. To do this, each student will complete an individual project.
