Courses

Catalogue data

Abstract	The course focuses on clinical as well as industrial aspects of advanced technologies and their transfer into neurorehabilitation from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The students will learn the basics of neurorehabilitation and the linkage to technologies, gain insight into the development within the medtech field and learn applications of technologies in clinical settings.
Learning objective	The students will: - Learn basics and principles of clinical neuroscience and neurorehabilitation. - Gain insight into the technical basics of advanced technologies and the transfer into product development processes. - Gain insight into the application, the development and integration of advanced technologies in clinical settings. This includes the advantages and limitations according to different pathologies and therapy goals. - Get the opportunity to test advanced technologies in practical settings. - Learn how to transfer theoretical concepts to actual settings in different working fields.
Content	Main focus: - Neurobiological principles applied to the field of neurorehabilitation. - Clinical applications of advanced rehabilitation technologies. - Visit medical technology companies, rehabilitation centers and labs to gain deeper insight into the development, application and evaluation of advanced technologie
Lecture notes	Teaching materials will be provided for the individual events and lectures. - Slides (pdf files) - Information sheets and flyers of the visited companies, labs and clinics
Competencies	Subject-specific Competencies Concepts and Theories fostered Techniques and Technologies assessed Method-specific Competencies Analytical Competencies assessed Decision-making fostered Media and Digital Technologies fostered Problem-solving assessed Social Competencies Communication fostered Leadership and Responsibility fostered Personal Competencies Creative Thinking fostered Critical Thinking assessed Integrity and Work Ethics fostered

Additional information on mode of examination	The lecture requires participation in a mandatory debate workshop at the end of the session, which will be graded as follows: For preparation of the workshop, each student selects a stakeholder role and a scenario and prepares a written statement as the selected stakeholder for the selected scenario, which contributes 80% to the workshop grade. Students not providing the individual statement receive a grade 1 for the whole workshop. The consensus statement prepared in the scenario groups during the workshop will be graded and contributes 20% to the workshop grade for each student of that scenario. The final grade is composed as follows: workshop grade (weighting 25%) and written examination (75%).
Written aids	None
This information can be updated until the beginning of the semester; information on the examination timetable is binding.
