MABIO4110 Molekylær cellebiologi Emneplan

None

Grade scale A-F

Automatic grading of multiple choice tasks. For short-term answers an internal and an external examiner will assess a minimum of 20 % of the exam papers. Two internal examiner's will assess the remaining papers.

Arbeids- og undervisningsformene omfatter forelesninger, digitale ressurser, seminarer med muntlige studentpresentasjoner og diskusjoner, gruppearbeid og selvstudier.

For å fremstille seg til eksamen må følgende være godkjent:

• presentasjon av forskningsartikkel, individuelt eller i gruppe på 3-6 studenter

The module covers upper limb orthoses and prostheses and lower limb prostheses for the following amputation levels: partial foot, ankle, knee and hip disarticulation. These levels are not covered by ORTO1300 and ORTOPRA1, and, as they are relatively rare, they account for a small proportion of prosthetist/orthotists- work.

The table below shows the subjects covered by the module, with credits specified:

Subjects includes in upper limb prostheses and orthoses

• Prosthetic and orthotic practice (3 credits)
• Anatomy (0,5 credits)
• Biomechanics (1,5 credits)
• Profession, psychology, interaction an communication (0,5 credits)
• Total: 5,5 credits

Subjects includes in partial foot, ankle, knee and hip disarticulation

• Prosthetic and orthotic practice (5 credits)
• Biomechanics (3,5 credits)
• Profession, psychology, interaction and communication (1 credits)
• Total: 9,5

Total credits in the module: 15 credits

Gradert skala A-F.

After completing the module, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student

• has knowledge of partial foot, ankle, knee and hip disarticulation surgery and the consequences thereof in terms of prosthetic treatment and design for these amputation levels
• has knowledge of the significance of shoes for functioning at partial foot and ankle disarticulation level
• has knowledge of medical reasons for dysfunction and amputation of upper limbs and functional consequences thereof
• has knowledge of control technology used in upper limb prostheses and orthoses
• is familiar with theories on health behaviour change
• is capable of describing the Norwegian patient injury compensation system

Skills

The student is capable of

• planning and giving grounds for follow-up plans based on users- needs
• solving clinical problems concerning prostheses or orthoses within the subject areas covered by the module
• conducting and analysing functional examinations of upper limbs
• carrying out clinical processes and making orthoses for users who need upper limb orthoses
• analysing and applying biomechanical theory to different cases
• applying and giving grounds for using ICF and outcome measures in relation to users- goals and orthopaedic follow-up plan
• identifying and analysing the characteristics of normal and pathological movement and function in the upper limbs
• discussing research articles relevant to the module content

General competence

The student

• is capable of cooperating with the user to develop an orthopaedic follow-up plan
• is capable of discussing interdisciplinary cooperation in the rehabilitation of people with injuries, disorders or loss of upper limbs
• is capable of documenting and communicating relevant clinical and biomechanical assessments in patient records and communicating such assessment orally
• is familiar with the objectives and functions of relevant user organisations
• is capable of discussing anger and conflict management
• is capable of reflecting on social and health-related problems, including neglect, violence, abuse, substance abuse and other consequences of physical, mental, social and socio-economic problems
• is capable of talking with people at risk about these problems and refering them to other professionals if necessary

Anatomy is fundamental in order to be able to assess the functioning and disability of users with problems relating to the musculoskeletal system. Functioning is mapped and assessed by means of systematic examinations. This module deals with functional examinations of the lower limbs except the foot. The foot, torso and upper limbs come later in the programme.

Physiology is fundamental to the understanding of normal and pathological processes.
