Biomechanics of Humans

Summary

The subject of the biomechanics of the person is engaged in the solution of biomechanical problems of the musculoskeletal system, where students are familiarised with the solution of problems of the skeletal and muscular apparatus. To the extent it is discussed the pathology of the mentioned types of systems, in particular, from the point of view of the degradation processes. In the section dedicated bio-material engineering, the subject focuses mainly on the constitutive and strength properties of the fundamental biomechanical materials and on the properties of artificial materials, which are part of the implants. Systemically is discussed about pathologist
