Lecturer: Ing. Pavel Smrčka Ph.D. Weekly load: 20P+8C Completion: EX
Department: 17120 Credits:  Semester: W,S
Description:
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with modern methods in the field of quantification of the rehabilitation process. Emphasis is placed on explaining the principles of various diagnostic approaches in the objective assessment of motor and cognitive impairment and on the application of specific procedures and instrumentation in clinical practice, including monitoring of patients in the home environment.
Contents:
1. Research and modern trends in the medical applications of technical solutions in rehabilitation.
2. Use of visual biofeedback in the diagnosis and therapy of patients with imbalance.
3. Applications of robotic systems, for example exoskeletons and rehabilitation robots.
4. Diagnostic tools for quantification of motor and cognitive impairment.
5. Quantification of the rehabilitation process in the application of vacuum compression therapy.
6. Kinematic analysis of movement in patients with motor deficiency.
7. Diagnostics using stabilometry and plantography.
8. Methodologies for evaluating the psychosensomotoric potential of a person.
9. Technical solutions in the diagnosis of movement disorders of the upper limbs.
10. Monitoring and diagnostics of patients during therapy in the home environment.
Seminar contents:
1. Kinematics and dynamics of body movement using an accelerometric system. Methods of data processing and their quantitative evaluation using computer technology.
2. Dynamics, force and moment effects in body segments. Methods of data processing and their quantitative evaluation using computer technology.
