Course Objectives Students in this course; is aimed to gain the students the skill about relationship between the contents of the course and clinical work, 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, normal gait, determinants of gait and gait analysis, competency to relate clinical situations to movement science.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Classify the mechanical principles related to motion.
  • Interpret how mechanical principles are used in the analysis of human movements.
  • Interpret the functions and mechanics of the body joints and the mechanisms of joint problems
  • Define the concepts regarding balance, weight transfer and orientation planes.
  • Define functional motion analysis methods.
  • Define normal and pathological gait characteristics and analysis
Course Description This course includes; movement and mechanical principles, mechanical and pathomechanics of the bone, muscle, collagen, and cartilage tissue, mechanical properties of the joints of the body, equilibrium, orientation planes and coordinates, normal and pathological gait.
