2   At the end of the course students will be able to identify the mechanics and pathomechanics of spine (cervical, thoracic, lumber, sacral and pelvis)
3   At the end of the course students will be able to identify the mechanics and pathomechanics of temporomandibular joint.
4   At the end of the course students will be able to identify the mechanics and pathomechanics of pulmonary and circulatory system.
5   At the end of the course students will able to identify movement analysis theories and equipments.
6   At the end of the course students will able to identify gait characteristics, gait analysis methods, the types of pathological gait.
