Focus on robotic rehabilitation therapy for treatment of neurological patients with movement disorders.

Focus on differnt fields of neurorehabiliation like managment skills, treatments, scientific methods, case-oriented and interdisciplinary approaches.

Course "Technical Medicine" offers a unique interdisciplinary programme linking science and technology with the clinical practice and professional behavior of medicine.

The educational unit of Institut Guttmann has a wide range of training programs, whose main objective is to contribute to the specialized training of the professionals involved in the world of health neurorehabilitation, allowing direct access, rigorous and practical way to major advances diagnostic and therapeutic technology of this clinical specialty and facilitate their application in the health care setting.

Biomedical Robotics investigates the application of mechatronic and robotic technologies to medicine and biology, by proposing innovative solutions for diagnosis, healthcare and improvement of patient quality of life. This institutes offers several courses in the field of robotics and neurorehabilitation.

The main research areas of the program include: medical instrumentation and sensors, biological signal processing, biomedical image processing and reconstruction, gait analysis and rehabilitation, biophotonics, orthopaedic mechanics, and non-invasive diagnosis of neurological disorders.

The program for the Certificate in Assistive Technology is designed to provide individuals who wish to continue their education in rehabilitation and assistive technology with a structured program of studies.

The goal of this course is to 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.

Introduction to Robotics: Fundamentals of robotics, rigid motion, homogeneous transformations, forward and inverse kinematics, velocity kinematics, motion planning, trajectory generation, sensing, vision, and control.

For course "Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Technology" focus on four groups of distance learning modules: Introductory topics, biomechanics, rehabilitation technology and orthopaedic technology.

The Master of Science program in rehabilitation technology is designed to prepare graduates to assume professional responsibilities in the field of assistive technology as rehabilitation engineers, service providers, and consultants.

The MSc in Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy aims to train graduates to conduct evidence-based practice in physiotherapy and to develop expertise in a specific domain of rehabilitation and physiotherapy. Organised in collaboration with other Flemish universities, this programme is highly specialized.

In the bachelor degree of "physiotherapy and rehabilitation" you can specify with elective courses on rehabilitation robotics

The course "Transfer of technologies into neurorehabilitation" focuses on clinical as well as industrial aspects of advanced technologies and their transfer into neurorehabilitation from both a theoretical and practical perspective. The students will learn the basics of neurorehabilitation and the linkage to advanced technologies in a compact and practical way. Furthermore, the students will gain insight into the development of new technologies in the medtech field as well as the practical application of technologies in a clinical setting. The students will gain practical experience with latest technologies by testing them on themselves and participating in excursions.
