Course content
1. The principle of operation of the bioelectronic prosthesis of the upper limb. Indications of the device. Differences in obtaining the measurement bases of bioelectronic, mechanical and cosmetic prostheses. 2. Bioelectronic prosthesis from the point of view of mechanics, pinch grip system, cosmetic palm covering. Basic scheme of the electronic part 3. Battery charging and replacement, proper charging and maintenance, different types of batteries. Emergency palm opening mode, effect of interference on prosthesis function. 4. Bioelectric prosthesis controlled by mechanical switch. Bioelectronic prosthesis for long stump and exarticulation at the wrist joint. 5. Equipment for medium-long forearm stump, with active pronation and supination. Equipment for amputations in the arm, use of active elbow joint. 6. Exarticulation at the shoulder joint, sensing potentials from the pectoralis major muscle. System of two opposing electrodes, sensing with one electrode by alternating strong and weak signals. 7. Smart prosthesis, alternating different control modes. Tension bandages, two-stroke and three-stroke system, connection of two devices. 8. Measurement of potentials using myotest potentials on the forearm, measurement of potentials using myotest potentials in the arm, measurement of potentials using myotest potentials from the pectoral muscle. Basic movement patterns in sensing potentials. 9. Reinforcement of the measured values by the myotrener system. Checking myopotentials by means of the kidney test in two-channel and four-channel design. 10. Practical control of the myoprosthesis by a system of stronger and weaker signals on one electrode. Function of the Utah type active elbow joint and its control. 11. Simple movement patterns used in self-care using the bioprosthesis. 12. Negative electromagnetic field effects when using a myoprosthesis.
