| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Students independently prepare a report on a modern active prosthetic/orthotic system. When writing the report, the student should identify the functions of the system, try to give as detailed a description as possible of the operation of the system, paying particular attention to the physiological signals used in the system, processing algorithms thereof, actuators and power supplies used. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | Report, presentation and discussion on a modern orthotic/prosthetic system. | ||||||||
| Final Examination (Full-Time): | Exam (Written) | ||||||||
| Final Examination (Part-Time): | |||||||||
| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | As a result of completing the course, the student is able to define the basic concepts of electronic engineering and electronics, describe the operation of semiconductor devices, and give examples of device applications. The student can name the functional components of analogue and digital electronic circuits, describe the functions and fields of application. | ||||||||
| Skills: | As a result of completing the course, the student is able to calculate simple passive circuits, simple operational amplifier circuits. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | The student is able to analyse an orthotic/prosthetic system: identify physiological signals used, power source, actuators, identify system functions. The student identifies the problems that arise when using electronic and electrical circuits in orthotics/prosthetics. | ||||||||
