Syllabus
2. Electromyograph – scanning of signals from groups of muscles ( using surface electrodes) for different isometric load of muscles
3. For the whole group of above devices – effect of transmission characteristics of the device on the resulting shape of signal (the source will be a simulator). Diagnostic significance of the changes. Simulated defects in devices influence the resulting transmission characteristics.
4. Scanning of the electric activity of brain – impact on the behaviour of the patient and on the nature of the signal, evaluation of the shape of the signal
5. The parameters of scanning electrodes.
6. Blood pressure measurement – use of Korotkov sounds and the oscillometric method and their comparison.
7. Pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry
8. Impact of the discrimination factor of the device on the magnitude of interference with the scanned signal by network frequency of 50 Hz. Impact of the transition resistivity of electrodes on the resulting discrimination factor (difference between the theoretical and practical value).
9. Impact of the discrimination factor of the device on the magnitude of interference with the scanned signal by network frequency of 50 Hz. Impact of the transition resistivity of electrodes on the resulting discrimination factor (difference between the theoretical and practical value).
10. Impedance measurement of blood flow
11. Measurement of blood saturation with oxygen. Possible ways of influencing the final result.
12. Alternative medicine – application of electroacupuncture
13. Substitute exercises + course-unit credit
