Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

By the end of the course FTR 321 Kinesiology I the students are expected to be fully aware of the relationship between the contents of the course and clinical work. The course aims to give basic knowledge on mechanics/pathomechanics of movement, how to use the knowledge of mechanics to assess the movement, joint-bone-muscle-cartilage and collagen tissues, equilibrium, gravity, coordinates and orientation planes. The course aims to give sufficient knowledge on normal gait, determinants of gait and gait analysis. A student who successfully finishes the course is expected to have acquired the competency to relate clinical situations to movement science.

Course Content:

Movement and mechanical principles
Mechanical and pathomechanic properties of bone, muscle, collagen and cartilage tissue
Mechanical properties of the joints of the body
Equilibrium, orientation planes and coordinates
Normal and pathological gait

Learning Outcomes

Learning Outcomes

1 - Knowledge
Theoretical - Conceptual
1) 1. Describes the contents of kinesiology, gains an awareness regarding kinesiology and physiotherapy approaches
2) 2. Classifies the mechanical principles of motion and uses them in motion analyses.
3) 6. Defines the determinants of normal and pathological gait and analysis, lists the compensatory mechanisms, knows the kinematic and kinetic data to plan the physiotherapy program in gait pathologies.
2 - Skills
Cognitive - Practical
1) 4. Knows the mechanics and pathomechanics of the joints and, chooses the knowledge for applications and develops problem solving skills.
3 - Competences
Communication and Social Competence
Learning Competence
1) 3. Describes mechanics and pathomechanics of bone, muscle, cartilage and the other collagen tissue; questions the potential risks during the exercise applications and gains skill to analyse
Field Specific Competence
1) 5. Defines balance, weight bearing and orientation planes and gains skill to organise and utilise this knowledge in practice.
Competence to Work Independently and Take Responsibility
