Purpose and Content

The aim of the course The aim of this course; is to explain the structures and their mechanics which play a role during the movement, to explain the response to stress and pathological changes of tissues and to interpret the relationship between the movement and the mechanical principles.
Course Content This course covers the following topics: 'The definition of kinesiology', 'Subjects within the scope pf kinesiology', 'Types of motion and movement', 'General mechanical principles', 'Development and nutrition of bone tissue and physiological properties and laws of bone cells', 'Stress loads on the bone', 'Functional adaptation in pathological conditions of bone', 'Bone diseases', 'Structure-properties, mechanics, pathokinetics of cartilage tissue', 'Mechanics and pathomechanics of muscle function', 'The mechanical properties and pathomechanics of collagen tissue', 'Classification of joints', 'Synovial joints and their properties', 'Joint cohesion', 'Movements in joints according to planes, sliding and rocking movement', and 'Leverages, balance, orientation planes and coordinates'.
