Annotation
The course applies theoretical knowledge from technical disciplines to the human field and primarily focuses on issues of tissue rheology and basic principles of the functioning of the musculoskeletal system from a biophysical perspective with an emphasis on biomechanics and physiotherapy. The focus is primarily to understand the effect of electrotherapeutic currents on the human body and to further understand the biomechanical principles of movement in the various body segments.
