ECTS credits: 3
Description:
The Mechanics with elements of biomechanics module shall enable that students are knowledgeable about the issues of balance of forces acting on model material bodies and of effects of loads action on a biomechanical model of a human being as well as performing analyses of machines and biological materials effort. Owing to that students shall obtain a better understanding of material properties mechanical conditions in mechanical and biological systems. The knowledge of biomechanics rules allows a rational planning of treatment and rehabilitation of human motor organs.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of the physics and mathematics modules.
Key reading:
