Qualification-goals/Competencies:
- Students are able to distinguish between load and force arms and reflect on the potential impact of the law of leverage on their patients.
- They know basic principles of elastostatics and can transfer these to properties of biological structures.
- They can set up equilibrium conditions based on Newton's axioms and determine joint forces statically.
- They learn about mechanical stress scenarios of people with and without pathologies and can reflect on them.
- They can assign arthro- and osteokinematic movements.
- Students are able to analyze movements, to subdivide them into stages and to teach new movements taking into account the sensorimotor system, the body's center of gravity and its relationship to the support surface, performance physiology and the principles of motor learning.
- They can reflect the peculiarities of biomechanics in athletes and specific patient groups.
- They can describe scientific stress concepts for athletes and patients in rehabilitation situations and carry out targeted training and rehabilitation therapies.
- They know theories for improving ergonomics in leisure time and at work and can deal with and give instructions in appropriate care situations.
