Lesson 1Full check of remaining limb: skin condition, scar places, limb volume change, and soft tissue movementDis focus on proper check of de remaining limb, including skin state, scars, bony parts, swelling, and soft tissue movement. It guide mapping risky spots dat may trouble socket comfort, holding, and long-term tissue health.
Skin integrity, color, and temperature checksScar location, adhesion, and sensitivity mappingIdentifying bony prominences and pressure risksAssessing edema and limb volume fluctuationSoft-tissue mobility and pinch testingLesson 2Outcome measures and records: standard forms, photo rules, and consent for picturesIt explain how to use standard outcome forms, photos, and client report tools to record starting status. It cover consent for images, data safety, and steady follow-up checks to track cosmetic and functional satisfaction.
Selecting standardized assessment formsBaseline and follow-up photography protocolObtaining and recording image consentClient-reported satisfaction questionnairesSecure storage and data organizationLesson 3Reading measurements for socket design and part choice: allowances, space, and load spreadIt show how to turn measurements into socket shape, trimlines, and part picks. It talk about spaces, allowances, load spread, and holding choices to balance comfort, lasting, and nice look.
Relating limb data to socket dimensionsSetting trimlines for comfort and coveragePlanning clearances and mechanical tolerancesLoad distribution and pressure managementSelecting components for cosmetic goalsLesson 4Measurement tools and ways: casting stuff, calipers, tape measures, goniometers, and digital scan needsIt cover pick and safe use of casting stuff, calipers, tapes, goniometers, and basic digital scan. It stress accuracy, repeat, infection control, and ready de limb and space for sure measurements.
Choosing appropriate casting materialsUsing calipers and tape for limb dimensionsGoniometer setup and alignment basicsDigital scanning prerequisites and setupHygiene, safety, and tool maintenanceLesson 5Psychosocial and lifestyle check: look priorities, wear time (8–10 hours), sweat/job factorsIt look into how look priorities, daily routines, and work or play activities shape prosthesis design. It handle wear time, sweat, weather exposure, and coping ways to match cosmetic goals wid real use and upkeep.
Exploring body image and appearance prioritiesDaily wearing schedule and tolerance planningWork, hobbies, and environmental exposuresSweat, skin issues, and hygiene strategiesSocial participation and stigma concernsLesson 6Motion range and joint check: elbow bend/straight, turn in/out, shoulder and neck screenIt detail check of elbow, forearm, shoulder, and neck motion for transradial prostheses. It include measure active and passive range, end feel, pain, and side moves dat may trouble control and cosmetic line-up.
Elbow flexion and extension measurementForearm pronation and supination testingShoulder screening for compensationsNeck posture and mobility observationPain, end-feel, and movement qualityLesson 7Functional needs check: job tasks (typing, client talks, object handling) and daily livingIt analyze how job tasks and daily doings shape prosthetic needs. It look at typing, driving, carrying, and self-care wants to pick lasting, grip choices, cosmetic details, and okay swaps between look and work.
Task inventory for work and home rolesFine motor needs, typing, and device useObject carrying, lifting, and stabilizationSelf-care, dressing, and grooming tasksPrioritizing form versus function trade-offsLesson 8Aesthetic wants talk: skin tone map, feel, nail likes, hair, veins, tattoos, and social see worriesIt guide proper talks on skin tone, feel, nails, hair, veins, and tattoos. It handle see in social and job places, culture tings, and ways to manage wants about realness, aging, and upkeep of cosmetic finishes.

It stress same marks, side compare, and record elbow-to-stump space to back socket design and cosmetic match.
