Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation - practice
The musculoskeletal system, also known as the locomotor system, is an organ system that enables movement in humans through its muscular and skeletal systems. This system provides support and stability, gives shape to the body, and primarily allows movement.

The aim of teaching the subject 'orthopaedics and rehabilitation' is to understand the treatment and rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system, its disorders, and injuries, through exercises, therapeutic procedures, and methods. Students learn to diagnose, plan, and implement therapeutic approaches for individuals with orthopaedic problems to improve movement, strength, and flexibility, and ensure optimal functionality and healing.

Clinical examination plays a crucial role in orthopaedics. It helps doctors and physiotherapists understand a patient's symptoms and musculoskeletal issues. During clinical examinations, the range of motion, strength, stability, sensitivity, and other factors related to specific orthopedic problems are assessed. Accurate diagnosis and subsequent therapeutic intervention often rely on a thorough clinical examination, enabling doctors to plan suitable treatment and rehabilitation programs if needed

PREPARATION Students should come prepared for practical training in white medical uniform/attire and shoes. Don't forget to review the interactive curriculum, watch videos, and complete the pre-test before starting the training. Precise and complete attendance is key to success and, of course, for obtaining credit! Arrange any absences by substituting exercises with another group or individually, upon agreement with your lecturer. LOCATION Your group is divided into two, A and B. Groups A and B have designated home orthopedic clinics for training. The subject's lessons take place in a single week, and the study group is split into groups A and B. Group A is based at the I. Dpt. of Orthopedic Surgery of the University Hospital St. Anne in Brno. Group B is based at the Dpt. of Orthopedic Surgery of the University Hospital Brno. At these workplaces, group A or group B start and finish their training. Attendance is done daily electronically in IS. These workplaces award credits to students of the respective groups on Fridays at the end of the training block. Weekly training involves the rotation of group A/B through workplaces such as the University Hospital Brno – Workplace of Adult Medicine, Children's Hospital, University Hospital St. Anne in Brno, and the Simulation Center of the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University, as per the attached schedule. Changes are reserved in IS. RECOMMENDATIONS It's crucial to adhere to the schedule and bear in mind that credits are granted after completing training at the respective workplaces. Ensure you're in the correct group and make the most of education across all clinics and workplaces! Internships at our facilities are welcomed.
