The course introduces students to the basics of human kinesiology mechanics from the perspective of statics, kinematics, and dynamics, and lays the foundations of thermodynamics, electromagnetism, acoustics, and optics in relation to physiotherapy and human body behavior. It deals in detail with the issue of electric currents and other therapeutic modalities used in physiotherapy. This course is the basis for the subsequent application of theoretical knowledge to case studies in the following semester in the course Biophysics and Biomechanics II.

The aim of the course is to establish the basic biophysical knowledge of the course participants and to unify their diverse knowledge. At the end of the course, students should be able to address physiotherapy issues from a biomechanical perspective. Skills · Determine the center of gravity of a body and determine its moment of inertia. They are able to use this information to analyze human movement. Describe and assess the behavior of various tissues of the musculoskeletal system in terms of the basic features of the mechanics of flexible bodies. · Distinguish and justify what kind of movement a body performs in relation to another body · Assess the degrees of freedom of a system of bodies within the lower and upper limbs and the axial system · Formulate the consequences of Newton's laws and use them to predict changes in the movement of a body in practical situations. - Is able to determine the type of electrical current suitable for the treatment of specific health conditions - Understands the specifications of electromagnetic waves in healthcare Competencies · Assesses the selection of appropriate physical methods and procedures for processing data from basic analytical, investigative, and therapeutic methods of the musculoskeletal system Last update: Malá Jitka, PhDr. Mgr., Ph.D. (25.08.2025)
