Course Objectives The aim of this course is to explain movement and the structures and mechanics involved in movement, to explain the responses of tissues to stresses and pathological changes, to interpret the relationship between mechanical principles and movement, to teach upper extremity and spine mechanics and pathomechanics.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • define the subjects covered by kinesiology;
  • classify the mechanical principles of motion and explain how to use these principles in the analysis of human movements;
  • define the mechanics and pathomechanics of bone, muscle, cartilage and collagen tissue;
  • analyze possible risks that may occur during exercise by questioning
  • explain the functions, mechanics and mechanisms of joint problems, selects the necessary information and develops problem solving skills in practice;
  • analyze mechanical and pathomechanical properties of the spine, shoulder-arm complex, elbow and wrist joints and hand.
Course Description This course covers; movement and mechanical principles, mechanical properties and pathomechanics of bone, muscle, collagen and cartilage tissue, mechanics and pathomechanics of the upper limb and spine joints.
