Annotation -
The biomechanics course focuses on teaching the relationship between physical therapy and the biomechanics of the human body, especially the spine and extremities. Students will learn to understand the functioning of the different segments of the musculoskeletal system and their interrelationships from a biomechanics perspective. Emphasis is placed on the practical application of this knowledge in physiotherapy. The course combines theoretical fundamentals with practical demonstrations and exercises to help students understand and apply biomechanical principles in the diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders.

Aim of the course -

Course Objectives:
1. To understand the basic principles of biomechanics and their application in physical therapy.
2. To gain an understanding of the biomechanics of the spine and extremities, including the function of the individual segments and their interrelationships.
3. Learn to analyze and interpret biomechanical data in the context of the diagnosis and therapy of movement disorders.
4. Understand the influence of biomechanical factors on the onset and development of musculoskeletal disorders.
5. Gain practical skills in the application of biomechanical principles in the examination and therapy of patients.

Competencies:
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. Apply knowledge of biomechanics in the clinical practice of physical therapy.
2. Understand biomechanical analysis of movement and identify deviations from the norm.
3. Utilize biomechanical principles in the design and implementation of therapeutic interventions.
4. Critically evaluate and interpret biomechanical data in the context of diagnosis and therapy.
5. Communicate with patients and explain the impact of biomechanical factors on their health status and the course of therapy.
6. collaborate with other healthcare professionals to solve complex cases using biomechanical evidence.
7. To continually educate and keep abreast of the latest developments in biomechanics and its application in physical therapy.

These goals and competencies provide students with a comprehensive framework for understanding and practicing biomechanics in their future physical therapy practice, enabling them to provide better quality care to their patients.
