Prosthetics is concerned with the replacement of a patient’s limb following amputation. Orthotics creates devices that support a patient’s body to compensate for paralysed muscles, provide relief from pain, or prevent orthopaedic deformities from progressing.
The only way to join the profession of prosthetics and orthotics in the UK is by graduating with an Honours degree in prosthetics and orthotics, which is approved by the Health and Care Professions Council. Strathclyde's BSc (Hons) programme, within the Department of Biomedical Engineering, is the one of only two such approved degrees in the UK.
