Supervisor:
Department of Health Care Disciplines and Population Protection
Synopsis:

The course is intended for all students who need to supplement their knowledge and have a general knowledge about biomechanics and its application in specific practical problems. The content is chosen to be sufficient to understand athe issues in related subjects, especially the subject of Mechanics and Robotics in Medicine. If the student does not choose the subject and has never had the opportunity to complete these basic knowledge, they will be exposed to the risk of misunderstanding the subsequent issues in related subjects, in which this is not taken into account the basic knowledge.

Requirements:

Credit conditions - 70% attendance at seminars, submission of 70% one-page protocols from seminars. The submitted protocols will meet the standards of the formal level and the professional level of the last year of bachelor's studies at the university. The formal and professional level of protocols will be assessed with classification grades A to F, which will be taken into account in the exam (20%).

Exam: fulfillment of credit conditions, demonstration of knowledge corresponding to the lectured material in the form of a written test containing both theoretical (three) and numerical (three) questions. It is possible to get 0.5 or 1 point from each question. The written test will be graded A-F. To get E it is necessary to get at least 3 points, for A it is necessary to get 5 or more points. The final grade will reflect the grade from the final test and protocols submitted during the semester. In the case of an ambiguous classification level A to F, an oral exam will follow.

Exam questions:

Subject of biomechanics and its division, Mathematical and physical methods in biomechanics, Measurement methods in experimental biomechanics, Evaluation of movement in sports biomechanics and rehabilitation, Clinical biomechanics, Biomechanics of musculoskeletal system, Characteristics of biomaterials and biocompatible materials, Definition of biomaterials, Orthopedics and prosthetics design of prostheses,
