Applied Anatomy, Physiology and Biophysics 1Laajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

The student understands the structure and functions of cells, tissues and musculoskeletal organs, and is able to understand the physiological process that introduces the bioelectric activity and the measurable signals. The student understands the process of signal capture, processing, presentation, and its applied use. The student understands the principles of measurement and analysis of the movements of a human body and movement parameters. The student understands the fundamentals of biomechanics and kinesiology and gains experience in methods used in biomechanics, equipment technology and measurements.
