Pathology and orthopaedics in the field of Podiatry have taken on great social and professional importance given the publication of Royal Decree No. 542 of April 7, 1995 (BOE No. 142 of June 15, 1995), where in its art. 1.3, which establishes the medical and podiatric prescription of ortho-prosthetics.
ROYAL DECREE 437/2002, of May 10, which establishes the criteria for granting operating licenses to manufacturers of custom-made medical devices, establishes that the podiatrist can manufacture orthopedic products and Royal Decree 192/2023, of March 21, which regulates medical devices for use in humans, makes this University Specialist title confer the License as Technical Manager required for the manufacture and adaptation of medical devices in the lower limb.
OBJETIVOS
1. To deepen and update knowledge in the area of foot and lower limb orthotics and prosthetics.
2. Train professionals in the use of new technologies in the area of foot and lower limb orthotics.
3. Train professionals in the custom manufacturing and adaptation of orthotic prostheses for the foot and lower limb.
4. Train the professional in the prescription, use, adaptation and modification of ortho-prostheses in the patient.
