Biomechanics

Course Description: This course aims to provide students with an understanding of physical therapy analysis of the principles of human biomechanics, focusing on the relationships between motion, structure, and force. This course is designed to develop practical knowledge in students regarding human movement.

Credits: 2

Objectives of the course :

1. Identifying specific biomechanical principles and theories that can be applied in physical therapy.
2. Description of the biomechanics of bones, skeletal muscles, and articular cartilage in normal and pathological conditions.
3. Identifying the physical principles related to biomechanics for human health and disease, which form the basis of physical therapy.
4. Identifying interrelated information from the fundamentals of biomechanics and determining its impact on physical therapy practice.

Course outputs :

1- Identify specific principles and theories from biomechanics that can be applied to physical therapy.
2- Description of the normal state and pathological mechanisms of human structures: bones, muscles, and cartilage.
3. Applying relevant biomechanical principles in the assessment of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders and determining their impact on evidence-based physical therapy practice.
4. Demonstrate appropriate behavior and professional conduct in teamwork.
