Aim of the course -

The aim of the course is to establish the basic biophysical knowledge of the course participants and to unify their diverse knowledge. By the end of the course, students should be able to address physiotherapy issues from a biomechanical perspective.

Skills

- Calculate the center of gravity of a body and determine its moment of inertia. The student is able to use this information to analyse the movement of people

Describes and assesses the behaviour of different tissues of the musculoskeletal system in the basic features of the mechanics of compliant bodies

- Distinguish and justify the type of motion a body performs relative to another body

- Assess the degrees of freedom of a body system within the lower and upper limbs and axial system

- Formulates the implications of Newton's laws and uses them to predict changes in the motion of a body in practical situations.

- Is able to determine the type of appropriate electrical current in the treatment of specific medical conditions

- Understands the specification of electromagnetic waves in health care

Competencies

- Assesses the selection of appropriate methods and procedures in the processing of data from basic analytical and investigative and therapeutic methods of the musculoskeletal system
