Unit of Competency LMTMF4001A - Select and adjust pre-fabricated footwear-related orthoses
Description This unit covers the skills and knowledge necessary to cover the selection and adjustment of prefabricated footwear-related orthoses.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit applies to activities associated with selecting and adjusting prefabricated footwear-related orthotics. Work is generally conducted in a small business situation. Work role may include that of sole practitioner or working directly with medical grade footwear practitioners.Footwear-related orthotic devices concerned with correcting the foot problem are limited to drop foot splints, ankle or foot orthoses (AFO), ankle braces, etc. Certain specific construction tasks associated with the fabrication may be delegated to other people, such as footwear technicians or skilled tradespeople.This unit is applied according to OHS and workplace practices of the enterprise, which may include:requirements prescribed by legislation, awards, agreements and conditions of employmentstandard operating procedureswork instructionsoral, written and visual communicationquality practices, including responsibility for maintenance of own work quality and contribution to quality improvement of team or section outputhousekeepingtasks related to environmental protection, waste disposal, pollution control and recyclingThis unit requires the application of skill associated with communication to review assessments and prescriptions, maintain client files and consult with other parties to clarify or obtain information as required. Planning and organising and problem solving skills and initiative and enterprise are required to select and adjust existing orthoses to meet client needs. Technology will be used to make modifications.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Clarify assessments and prescriptions
  • Assessments and prescriptions are reviewed to confirm that all required information has been provided prior to selection and modification of prefabricated orthoses
  • Other parties are consulted, if necessary, to clarify or provide additional information
       
Element: Determine resources required to modify orthoses
  • Availability of materials and equipment to modify stock and prefabricated orthoses are confirmed
  • Materials to modify existing orthoses are selected to match design requirements
       
Element: Select orthoses
  • Appropriate tools andtechniques needed to adjust orthoses are selected to ensure achievement of design
  • Existing orthoses are selected for repeat client if only minor design changes are required
  • Orthoses are adjusted to accommodate client foot shape, alignment and specific footwear designs
  • Shapes of orthoses are checked to assess effect on footwear and function
       
Element: Adjust and finish orthoses
  • Orthoses are reviewed and matched against footwear and adjustments made as required
  • Orthoses are finished off to meet established quality standards
  • Determine modifications required to the shoe to allow for orthoses, as required
       
Element: Perform record keeping procedures
  • Client files are maintained
  • Administrative tasks are completed
       


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the Performance Criteria, Required Skills and Knowledge, the Range Statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
