Acquisition of basic theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of designing prosthesis and prosthetic devices in the skeletal prosthetics.

Introduction to the geometrical structure and design methods of prosthesis and prosthetic devices. Defining of conceptual solutions and defining of input data for the design process. Methods of product design in biomedical engineering. The characteristics and structure of software systems. Computer analysis of the results. Procedures for Design Automation of prosthesis and prosthetic devices.

Fundamentals and basic concepts in the design of skeletal prosthetics. The structure and characteristics of prosthetic devices. Fundamentals of Geometry lower extremity prosthesis. Fundamentals of Geometry upper extremity prostheses. Other skeletal prostheses. Methods of product. The structure of software systems for development and design of product. Computer analyzes of prosthetic devices in operation by using CAE software and virtual reality.

Teaching is performed in the form of interactive lectures, computer exercises and through consultation. In lectures, theoretical characteristic of the material is illustrated with examples. Through computer exercises apply their knowledge to solve a specific task. In addition to lectures and exercises are regularly held and consultation. Exam score is based on: the presence of lectures and exercises, and successfully solved graphic and team paper tasks (two tasks), the success of the written and the verbal part of the exam.
