Course Objectives	Explaining the structures and mechanics of movement and its role in the movement, explaining the responses of the tissues to the stresses and explaining the pathological changes, interpreting the relationship of the mechanical principles with the movement, explaining the normal walking characteristics and analysis, developing the ability to list and distinguish the changes observed in the pathological walk.
Course Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Describes the contents of kinesiology, gains an awareness regarding kinesiology and physiotherapy approaches Classifies the mechanical principles of motion and uses them in motion analyses. Describes mechanics and pathomechanics of bone, muscle, cartilage and the other collagen tissue; questions the potential risks during the exercise applications and gains skill to analyse Knows the mechanics and pathomechanics of the joints and, chooses the knowledge for applications and develops problem solving skills. Defines balance, weight bearing and orientation planes and gains skill to organise and utilise this knowledge in practice. Defines the determinants of normal and pathological gait and analysis, lists the compensatory mechanisms, knows the kinematic and kinetic data to plan the physiotherapy program in gait pathologies.
Course Content	Movement and mechanical principles,Mechanical and pathomechanic properties of bone, muscle, collagen and cartilage tissue, mechanical properties of the joints of the body, balance, orientation planes and coordinates, normal and pathological gait.
