Lecture topics: 1. Introduction to biomechanics. 2. Measurement and expression of movement. 3. Basics of kinematic description (mass point, rigid body and system of bodies, human motion). 4. Fundamentals of dynamic description of movement (force and moment of force, conditions of equilibrium, center of gravity, geometry of masses of human body, levers in human movement apparatus). 5. Fundamentals of dynamic description of motion (Newton's laws, momentum and moment, kinematic pairs and strings, energy aspects of motion, friction and resistance of environment, motion in non-inertial system, inertial forces and their use in medicine). 6. Mechanics of flexible bodies, elasticity (Hook's law). 7. Architecture and mechanical properties of bones (Wolf's law, principle of maximum strength at minimum material) and muscles. 8. Force and velocity characteristics (Hill equation), structure and mechanical behavior of cartilage. 9. Fluid mechanics (pressure and pressure force, Pascal's law, continuity equation, Bernoulliv equation, viscosity). 10. Blood flow properties and biomechanics of cardiovascular system and cardiac muscle (Laws of Laplace and Starling Law).

Learning outcomes
|
The course introduces students to the field of biomechanics. Emphasis is placed on physical fundamentals of biomechanics, understanding kinematics and dynamics of movement of the whole body and its individual parts. Attention is also paid to aspects of mechanical properties of bodies (stiffness, elasticity) and fundamentals of fluid mechanics with respect to the vascular system.
Expertise: The student demonstrates basic mechanical concepts and laws that are applied in human movement. He knows terminology used in biomechanics. Professional skills: The student is able to apply the principles of biomechanics in the management of human movement (especially with regard to rehabilitation procedures) and when using mechanical and other aids. General eligibility: The student is able to use the acquired knowledge of biomechanics and apply it to practice.
