DEPARTMENT OF BIOMECHANICS

Biomechanics is the study of the relationship of the forces acting on the body. This is the basis for all exercise prescription, posture correction, stretching and strengthening.  Therapists are attempting to alter these forces in order to improve the patient's strength, range of motion, balance and function. 

The practical concepts of Biomechanics & Exercise therapy subjects are dealt with in this department. Biomechanics involves the study of basic concepts of human movement and application of various bio-mechanical principles in the evaluation and treatment of disorders of Musculoskeletal system

Students are taught to understand the various quantitative methods of movement by practical’s. Mechanical principles of various treatment methods are studied. In this department, the students will learn the principles and effects of exercise as a therapeutic modality and will learn the techniques in the restoration of physical functions.

A system of physiological organ systems that interact to produce movement of the body and its parts.’ A collection of various systems: cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine, nervous and musculoskeletal that work together in coordination to produce body movement. As physiotherapists we are characterized as movement experts and this shapes our unique identity in the medical society. This considered to be an identity for physiotherapists that calls for skills, knowledge and expertise related to the movement system to promote optimal development and prevents activity limitation
