Physiology and Biomechanics in PhysiotherapyLaajuus (5 cr)

Code: TH00CL20

Credits

5 op

Objective

The student is in physiotherapy process able to
• explain the structures and the principles of physiology of the central and peripheral nervous system of a human,
• explain the development and maturation of the human nervous system during the first year of life,
• explain the structures and the principles of physiology of respiratory and circulatory organs,
• explain the principles of muscle physiology,
• explain the structural and neural factors affecting on power output,
• explain biomechanical features in basic movements

Content

Anatomy: structures of central and peripheral nervous system, development and maturation during the first year, structures of the respiratory and circulatory system.

Physiology: structure and functions of the nerve cell, motor behavior regulation and sensory functions in motor regulation (neurophysiology), muscle and load physiology, heart rate regulation, blood circulation and regulation, respiratory physiology, respiratory diffusion and respiratory regulation.

Biomechanics: base of support, gravity, center of gravity, internal and external forces and how they affect human movement, muscle work and basics of human movement analysis
