Course Content
Biyomekanik ile ilgili temel kavramlar ve araştırma alanları, kuvvetler, kaldıraç sistemleri, uygulamalar ve klinik örnekler. Hareket ve mekanik prensipler, kemik, kas, kollajen ve kıkırdak dokunun mekanik özellikleri ve patomekaniği, eklemlerin özellikleri, normal ve patolojik yürüyüş
Objectives of the Course
To define the basic terms and principles of biomechanics is to present a biomechanical point of view, to give examples and to discuss the situations physiotherapists encounter in the clinic. It is aimed to gain knowledge about the normal kinesiology and biomechanical properties of the locomotor system and its pathomechanics.
