About Study Course
Objective
Deepen comprehension about biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system in context of physiotherapy.
Preliminary Knowledge
Introduction course of biomechanics at bachelor's level.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Describe and explain concepts of medical biomechanics in connection with musculosceletal system; describe and explain biomechanical characteristics of muskuloskeletal system elements.
Skills
1.Identify biomechanical regularities during movements, postures and different functional activities under different circumstances.
Competences
1.Apply comprehension about biomechanics of musculosceletal system in analysis of human functions during physiotherapy assessment, evaluation and treatment.

The final test – examination – includes the analysis of the simulation task.
Evaluation criteria:
(1) ability to describe and interpret the possibilities of functional investigation, taking into account the principles of biomechanics of the myeloskeletal system;
(2) ability to apply the understanding of medical biomechanics in the analysis and explanation of a functional problem;
(3) ability to apply and integrate knowledge of the regularities of movement and posture biomechanics in the clinical reasoning process, targeting and selecting a suitable product.
Each criteria delivers a valuable score from 0 to 10 and accounts for 33.3% of all assessment grade.
In order to carry out the final test, participation in all practical classes is a must, with tasks (laboratory work, workshop reports) completed.
