Code: F7AMBBB Biomechanics and Biomaterials
Lecturer: prof. RNDr. Matej Daniel Ph.D. Weekly load: 2P+2L Completion: A, EX
Department: 17101 Credits: 5 Semester: W
Description:
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the areas of biomechanics. These are circuits of clinical, sports and orthopaedic biomechanics. In particular, the students will be introduced to methods of measurement in experimental biomechanics, biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system, assessment of movement in biomechanics and rehabilitation, assessment of gait and standing still, assessment of work and performance, force and moment effects, anthropometry, material properties, loading methods, deformation and modelling of biomaterials, rheological models of tissues. Students will also learn about the areas of orthosis and prosthesis design and ergonomics in relation to biomechanics.
