The basic principles underlying the measurement of blood pressure and flow will be explored in relation to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Numerical Modelling in Biomedical Engineering This module aims to provide experience of using numerical modelling tools, in particular Matlab, in a Biomedical Engineering context. For those with no knowledge of matlab, some pre-class preparatory work will be required and expected. Case studies will be presented from the departmental research portfolio that require the use of numerical modelling. These case studies will be explained in detail, together with a methodology of the required numerical modelling to answer the research question. Students will be expected to write their own code to answer the research question, to appropriately graphically present results and to interpret the results in context. Medical Robotics This module aims to introduce the concepts and the design of medical robotics and its applications in various medical disciplines including, interventions, surgery and rehabilitation.
Regenerative Medicine You'll learn to describe the developments and advances in regenerative/repair medicine in terms of Source of cells Cell expansion/seeding and bioreactor technology Tissue scaffolds: design criteria, fabrication and characterisation Clinical status of replacement tissues and organs Tissues mechanics This class aims to provide an introduction to the mechanical properties of human tissue using a PBL approach. With the aid of an existing finite element (FE) model of the knee, students will virtually dissect the knee joint identify the different tissue types in the knee. Discussion will take place to determine how to incorporate the material properties of the different tissues into the model. A Journal "club" will be used to discuss recent literature, informing and directing you to perform appropriate experimental methods to determine the mechanical properties. these can then be incorporated into the FE model. A fully working FE knee joint will be the objective of the class.
What Are Jobs in Orthotics and Prosthetics? Jobs in orthotics and prosthetics involve the design, fabrication, and fitting of orthopedic braces, devices, or artificial limbs. Your duties depend on the type of equipment with which you work. Professionals who design braces and prosthetics are biomedical engineers or bioengineers. People who fabricate custom braces or artificial limbs use tools and specialized machinery to create customized products. Professionals who oversee brace or limb fittings are orthotic or prosthetic fitters, and these careers your responsibilities include assessing the user's condition over time and making adjustments as needed. How Can I Get a Job in Orthotics and Prosthetics? The qualifications you need to get a job in orthotics and prosthetics include experience, a relevant degree, and if you work directly with patients, communication skills. Bioengineers who design braces and prosthetics need at least a bachelor's degree in engineering, and most employers prefer applicants with a master's degree or Ph.
INTRODUCTION Prosthetics and Orthotics is generally a health care profession based on engineering dealing with rehabilitation of physically handicapped individuals who suffer from limb malfunctions or abnormalities or absence or loss of limbs or other body osthetists provide patients with prostheses (artificial limbs) to replace an amputated hand, arm, foot or leg. The goal of the prosthetist is to provide the patient with increased function, such as walking or grasping. Orthotists provide patients with orthoses like braces, splints and special footwear which assist movement and tend to lessen the amount of discomfort and increase the stability of the spine or an extremity after injury or disease. The goal of the orthotist is to provide the patient with protection, support and, ultimately, increased function. Generally such conditions arise due to accidents or amputation of the part of the body for reasons like diabetes or gangrene or cancer or congenital or even cases like polio. Here comes the need of a Prosthetists and Orthotists who help in giving treatment by means of an an external support for movement and strength to go about their routine these professionals help such people to return to a normal life by using their skills and advanced medical technology.
The full paper will be prepared by the student, under supervision, in the correct format from submission to the chosen journal. The primary aim of the class is to give students practice and experience of integrating different strands of rehabilitation engineering, design and business input to a prosthetic and orthotic investigation or design. The content will relate to a realistic context and the class will prepare students for situations which they may encounter in subsequent employment and future research. Medical Science for Engineering You'll be provided with instruction in key areas of human anatomy, physiology and cell biology relevant to the advanced study of bio and clinical engineering. You'll gain an understanding of normal biological function and control as derived from scientific and clinical evidence. The class aims to educate you to use your knowledge of normal function to better understand pathology, disease diagnosis and treatment. Engineering Science This class aims to provide instruction of fundamental engineering (mechanics of rigid bodies, mechanics of deformable bodies, mechanics of fluids and electronics) for life scientists who have no formal education in the engineering sciences.
