Course content
Lecture topics: 1. Introduction 2 - 3. Measuring and expressing movement, the basics of kinetic descriptions ( w Point, rigid body, multibody system, human movement) 4 - 5. The basics of a dynamic description of the movement ( force and moment of force, conditions of an equilibrium, the centre of gravity, the geometry of human body mass, Newton's Law, momentum and torque, kinematic pairs and stings, energetic aspects of the movement, friction and resistance of an environment, motion in no inertial radix, inertial forces and their use in medicine). 6. Mechanics of supple bodies, elasticity (Hooke's Law) 7. 8. Architecture and mechanical bone properties (Wolff's Law, the principles of a maximum strength at minimum material) and muscles, force and velocity characteristics (Hills Equation), the structure and mechanical behaviour of a cartilage. 9 - 10. Mechanics of fluids (pressure, compressive force, Pascal's Law, continuity equation, Bernoulli Equation, viscosity) flow properties of blood and biomechanics of cardiovascular system and heart muscle (Laplace's Law, Starlings Law) 11. Revision

unspecified
Learning outcomes
The course introduces students to the field of biomechanics. The emphasis is focused on physical basics of biomechanics, understanding of kinematics, and dynamics of whole body movements and their individual parts. Attention is also paid to the aspects of mechanical body properties (rigidity, elasticity) and to the basics of fluid mechanics with respect primarily to the vascular system.
Subject Knowledge Student can explain the basics of mechanical terms which are applied by human movement. Student masters the terminology used in biomechanics. Subject Skills Student is able to apply regularities of biomechanics in managing the physical activities of man (especially with regards to rehabilitation procedures) and in the use of mechanical and other aids.
