Subject taught in the 1st year of the master's program builds on the teaching of compulsory subjects of biomechanics. It extends above the topics of biomechanical properties of tissue and tissue structures of the human locomotor system, its ontogenetic and pathological variability. The course also deals with methods of their identification and diagnosis. It is focused both on power-strain response of passive tissues (ligaments, bone, cartilage, intervertebral discs, etc.) and the specific behavior of active tissue (nerve tissue, muscle tissue) also. Finally, there are some notes about mechanical properties of respiratory and cardiovascular system.
