Are you a professional working in Orthotics and Rehabilitation?
This course is designed to bridge the gap between scientific evidence and clinical practice in lower limb orthotics. Through five interactive online lectures and one practical hands-on workshop, you will strengthen your understanding of evidence-based practice and digital tools.
Join the course and take your expertise to the next level!
Learn from industry-leading experts at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences—the only institution in Finland offering a unique programme leading to a Prosthetist-Orthotist qualification. Our programme is internationally accredited by the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO). Come and update, expand and deepen your professional expertise.
Strengthen clinical expertise with evidence‑based, patient‑centered orthotic decision‑making.
Master modern digital technologies, gait analysis tools, and data-driven evaluation methods.
Gain hands-on experience in a real gait laboratory, working directly with orthotic users to identify and address gait deviations.
The program consists of five 120‑minute online lectures delivered via Teams and one full‑day, in‑person practical workshop.
The online lectures feature interactive discussions and case studies, supported by reading assignments and evidence appraisal exercises. The in-person workshop offers hands-on practice with real clients in gait laboratory settings, as well as reflective group discussions that connect the latest evidence to real clinical cases.
The course is held in English.
For the most comprehensive learning experience, we recommend attending both the online lectures and the in‑person workshop. However, if your schedule is limited, you’re also welcome to participate in just the online lectures.
