Summary
This subject introduce students to biomechanics branch (theory, practice, experiments and applications). The focus is mainly on statics, kinematics, dynamics, strength and elasticity, materials and their degradations, anatomy of organis, autopsy, genesis of injury, healing of tissue, numerical modelling, medical diagnostics, strength analysis of machine parts or implants etc.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Course Contents
1. Definition, practice, history, present and future of biomechanics (from bionics to genetic engineering and biocompatibility).
2. Methods of medical and engineering diagnostics (RTG, CT, MRI, statistics, experiments).
3. Anatomy of musculoskeletal system and motoric of plants, animals and humans and laboratory autopsy of fish.
4. Analysis of material behaviour. Focused on biomaterials of skeletal systems of humans and animals including their remodelation and degradation.
5. Analysis of loads, boundary and initial conditions for skeletal systems of humans and animals.
6. Biomechanics of motion, gait and sports (anasysis of a process).
7. Biomechanics of injury (analysis of a process ans type of accidents and their causes, traffic accidents).
8. Experimental measurements in biomechanics. Kinematic a dynamic analysis.
9. Numerical modelling in biomechanics and model creation of living tissues.
10. Design and proposition of osteosynthetic materials for traumatology and ortopaedics (external and internal fixators).
11. Ergonomics of human work, prosthesis, orthesis and design.
