Course Content
Basic concepts and research areas related to biomechanics; forces, lever systems, applications, and clinical examples. Motion and mechanical principles; the mechanical properties and pathomechanics of bone, muscle, collagen, and cartilage tissues; joint characteristics; and normal and pathological gait.
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.
