376-1219-00L | Rehabilitation Engineering II: Rehabilitation of Sensory and Vegetative Functions | 3 credits | 2V | R. Riener, R. Gassert, L. Marchal Crespo | |
Abstract | Rehabilitation Engng is the application of science and technology to ameliorate the handicaps of individuals with disabilities to reintegrate them into society.The goal is to present classical and new rehabilitation engineering principles applied to compensate or enhance motor, sensory, and cognitive deficits. Focus is on the restoration and treatment of the human sensory and vegetative system. | ||||
Learning objective | Provide knowledge on the anatomy and physiology of the human sensory system, related dysfunctions and pathologies, and how rehabilitation engineering can provide sensory restoration and substitution. This lecture is independent from Rehabilitation Engineering I. Thus, both lectures can be visited in arbitrary order. | ||||
Content | Introduction, problem definition, overview Rehabilitation of visual function - Anatomy and physiology of the visual sense - Technical aids (glasses, sensor substitution) - Retina and cortex implants Rehabilitation of hearing function - Anatomy and physiology of the auditory sense - Hearing aids - Cochlea Implants Rehabilitation and use of kinesthetic and tactile function - Anatomy and physiology of the kinesthetic and tactile sense - Tactile/haptic displays for motion therapy (incl. electrical stimulation) - Role of displays in motor learning Rehabilitation of vestibular function - Anatomy and physiology of the vestibular sense - Rehabilitation strategies and devices (e.g. BrainPort) Rehabilitation of vegetative Functions - Cardiac Pacemaker - Phrenic stimulation, artificial breathing aids - Bladder stimulation, artificial sphincter Brain stimulation and recording - Deep brain stimulation for patients with Parkinson, epilepsy, depression - Brain-Computer Interfaces | ||||

376-1279-00L | Virtual Reality in Medicine Does not take place this semester. | 3 credits | 2V | R. Riener | |
Abstract | Virtual Reality has the potential to support medical training and therapy. This lecture will derive the technical principles of multi-modal (audiovisual, haptic, tactile etc.) input devices, displays and rendering techniques. Examples are presented in the fields of surgical training, intra-operative augmentation, and rehabilitation. The lecture is accompanied by practical courses and excursions. | ||||
Learning objective | Provide theoretical and practical knowledge of new principles and applications of multi-modal simulation and interface technologies in medical education, therapy, and rehabilitation. | ||||
Content | Virtual Reality has the potential to provide descriptive and practical information for medical training and therapy while relieving the patient and/or the physician. Multi-modal interactions between the user and the virtual environment facilitate the generation of high-fidelity sensory impressions, by using not only visual and auditory modalities, but also kinesthetic, tactile, and even olfactory feedback. On the basis of the existing physiological constraints, this lecture will derive the technical requirements and principles of multi-modal input devices, displays, and rendering techniques. Several examples are presented that are currently being developed or already applied for surgical training, intra-operative augmentation, and rehabilitation. The lecture will be accompanied by several practical courses on graphical and haptic display devices as well as excursions to facilities equipped with large-scale VR equipment. Target Group: Students of higher semesters and PhD students of - D-HEST, D-MAVT, D-ITET, D-INFK, D-PHYS - Robotics, Systems and Control Master - Biomedical Engineering/Movement Science and Sport - Medical Faculty, University of Zurich Students of other departments, faculties, courses are also welcome! | ||||
