learning outcomes
Knowledge
define basic concepts and principles of biomechanics and ergonomics describe the structure and function of the skeletal and muscular system in relation to movement and load on the lower limbs. explain the phases and mechanics of walking and factors affecting its efficiency characterize anthropometric parameters of the foot and methods of their measurement describe the most common developmental deformities of the lower limbs and their impact on footwear explain the importance of ergonomics in footwear design and the working environment.

Skills
measure and evaluate basic anthropometric parameters of the foot assess the ergonomic properties of footwear concerning user health and comfort analyze basic gait patterns and their relationship to footwear construction identify common developmental foot deformities and propose appropriate footwear modifications apply ergonomic principles in the design of footwear and related aids educate customers on the principles of healthy footwear.
