To provide the fundamental concepts of biophysics, including mechanics, kinematics and dynamics. To learn more about the different biomechanical techniques used to evaluate human function and biological materials. To provide the basic knowledge concerning analysis of movement and the processes responsible for the initiation of movement. To discuss movement patterns within a clinical contents.

Arthrokinematics - Evaluation of external and internal forces acting on the human body - Biomechanical characteristics of bone, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, Tendons, synovial fluids - Load and overload - Kinematics and dynamics of motor tasks (gait, running, …) - Playing surfaces - Biomechanical measurement devices - Human movement, initiating movement (CNS to periphery) - Locomotion and gait, running, selected movements - Gait analysis - Balance - Co-ordination (intramuscular, intermuscular, movement patterns) - Pathological movements (ataxia, athetosis, hemiplegia, …) – Inverse dynamics
