The objective of this course is to train students to use basic measuring instruments in the kinesiology laboratory, as well as to understand the characteristics of normal walking and to interpret the results of kinesiological analysis of walking.
Students will also be taught specific competencies:
Knowledge of kinetic and kinematic characteristics of normal walking. Recognition and understanding of the characteristics of normal walking in children and the elderly. Ability to use methods of analysis of walking and interpretation of results.
Knowledge and understanding of other forms of bipedal movement (jumping, running).
History of the development of the kinesiological study; terminology; the cycle of walk.
Kinematics of walking (spatial and temporal parameters; movement of individual joints and lower extremities, upper extremities, head, torso and pelvis), muscle activity during walking, kinetics of walking (joint movements and ground reaction forces), energy consumption (force, work, mechanical energy, optimisation), initiation of a movement, stopping.
Motor control of walking.
Kinesiological methods of walking analysis (spacio-temporal parameters, electro-goniometry, electromyography, energy consumption, accelerometers, motion analysis system).
Normal walking in small children and walking development; characteristics of physiological walking in the elderly.
Other forms of bipedal movement (walking backwards, jumping, running, walking downhill/uphill, walking up the stairs, crossing obstacles).
