Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with current trends in the biomechanics. The course offers information about the current possibilities of using the field of biomechanics in practice and specific areas of research. Attention is paid mainly to aspects of biomechanics, ergonomics, orthopedic biomechanics, biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system, clinical biomechanics and biomechanics of biomaterials.

Requirements:

As a standard, teaching takes place in the form of contact and the course ends with an oral exam, which is preceded by written preparation. If the number of students is less than 5, teaching can take place in the form of guided self-study with regular consultations. Furthermore, it is required to prepare a written study by the student on a given topic in the field. The condition for admission to the exam is the completion of two laboratory exercises (evidenced by a protocol signed by the student, the head of the exercise and the guarantor of the course). The protocols will be archived in the doctoral study paper.

Syllabus of lectures:

1.Subject biomechanics and their division: clinical, sports, orthopedic, forensic biomechanics, biomechanics in ergonomics.
