Course Description
The aim of this course is to examine mechanics and mechanics of body tissues and joints, movements and forces that give rise to these movements in mechanical laws, comparing them to pathological states of the musculoskeletal system. Analyzes of movement, kinetic and kinematic analysis of healthy, patient and disability, kinesiology of body tissues and joints, musculoskeletal pathologies. The student attaining this course gains the ability to evaluate and analyze movements in individuals with diseases that are related to the musculoskeletal system. Gain the ability to interpret and use what can be done in terms of increasing the success of rehabilitation, which is healthy and has diseases related to musculoskeletal system.
