About CVOPT Certification Modules
The three modules that make up the CVOPT certification cover thoracic limb orthotic devices, pelvic limb orthotic devices, and prosthetic devices. Each module will consist of a 3-day in-person course working through thoracic and pelvic limb conditions amenable to orthotic or prosthetic devices. Special considerations on case and device selection, prescription, planning, design critique, fitting, and, importantly, how to troubleshoot and adjust basic devices. We will also cover the materials, tools, and facilities needed to start a basic V-OP practice.
Module 1 - Introduction to Veterinary Orthotics and Prosthetics (V-OP) for the Thoracic Limb
Module 2 - Introduction to Veterinary Orthotics and Prosthetics (V-OP) for the Pelvic Limb
Module 3 - Veterinary Prosthetic Devices
