| Goals | Acquisition of basic subjects such as terminology, anatomy, joint movements, anthropometry, movement (gait analysis) (normal-pathological), soft tissue biomechanics (muscle etc.), hard tissue biomechanics (bone etc.), sports biomechanics, orthosis and prosthesis designs, modeling and simulation studies, fluid mechanics (blood flow). |
| Course Content | Correction of physical functions (e.g., paralysis, etc.) Musculoskeletal health (e.g., fractures, etc., in elderly patients) Design and production (e.g., appropriate shoe design for athletes) Forensics (e.g., accident investigation) Enhancing sports performance (e.g., developing more effective techniques) Preventing sports injuries (e.g., developing safer techniques) Application areas of biomechanics Physical therapy Medicine (orthopedics, sports medicine, rehabilitation, forensic medicine) Engineering (ergonomics (industrial medicine), bioengineering) Kinesiology (science of movement) Art (performing arts, fine arts, performing arts) Kinesiology The branch of science that deals with human movement It falls within the branches of anatomy, physics, physiology, and biomechanics Biomechanical research Experimental Studies: Mechanical properties of biological elements (tissues, cells) such as bones, joints, cartilage, muscles, tendons, and blood. Model analysis: • Uses measurements of initial conditions to simulate the devastating effects of accidents (head injuries). • Analyzes the responses of models. • Establishes theoretical models based on experimental data and predicts the analysis of real-life events. Applied research: Uses human functions. |
