Course content
Lectures 1. Posture, postural stability - characteristics of physiological and defective posture, biomechanical principles of posture disorders, posture assessment methods. 2. Joints in the human body - distribution, biomechanical parameters, degrees of freedom, joint movements, joint stress. 3. Biomechanics of the hip joint - structure and properties of the joint, basic biomechanical parameters, movements in the joint, mechanical causes of injury. 4. Biomechanics of the knee joint - structure and properties of the joint, basic biomechanical parameters, movements in the joint, mechanical causes of injury. 5. Biomechanics of the foot - function of the foot, segments of the foot and mechanics of their movement, arch of the foot, mechanical causes of injury. 6. Biomechanics of the shoulder girdle - structure of the girdle, basic biomechanical parameters, movements in the joint, mechanical causes of injury. 7. Biomechanics of the elbow joint - properties of the joint, basic biomechanical parameters, movements in the joint, mechanical causes of injury. 8. Biomechanics of the hand - hand function, hand joints, types of movement and their biomechanical characteristics. 9. Biomechanics of the spine - structure and function, mechanical properties, curvature of the spine, mechanical principles of trunk orthoses, loading of the spine. 10. Biomechanical analysis of gait - basic phase of the step cycle, kinematics of the joints of the lower limb, reaction force and its effect on movement in the joints of the lower limb, analysis of gait. 11. Methods of biomechanical research - kinematic and dynamic analysis, EMG. Exercises - follow up the lectures with practical application Odeslat zpětnou vazbu Postranní panely Historie Uloženo
