Course content
It is a discipline that combines basic research with broad application computer technologies, physical methods, such as tensometry, biomechanics, electrophysiological methods. The task of the discipline is to provide an understanding of the use of the complex fundamental, applied sciences and software aimed at analysis data on the structure and function of muscles, in particular in the quantitative assessment of their function in depending on the condition of muscle tissue or the influence of the environment. As a result of training, students will receive modern theoretical ideas about the structure of muscles, various manifestations of mobility that lie in the basis of the existence of life and practical skills to assess the state of muscle tissue of different types.
