The aim of this course is to provide understanding of physiotherapy in orthopedic rehabilitation, prosthetics and orthotics and biomechanics applications, neurological rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, the basics about painful situations in musculoskeletal system; improving the physiotherapy and rehabilitation program planning and application skills in different treatment units. Development practical skills in different physiotherapy fields, practical applications in different clinics (physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedics, neurology-neurosurgery, sports medicine, etc.), communication with patients and their families, providing information to patients and their families about physiotherapy take place in the scope of this course. After 6 weeks intensive program, evaluation of the course will be done by the evaluation forms filled in by the trainee supervisor in addition to students’ patient assessment reports. Students gain clinical problem solving skills with a holistic perspective.

The aim of this course is to provide the student with the knowledge of planning and conducting research in the field of health, choosing appropriate statistical methods for the data obtained and interpreting the results, using the necessary statistical package program, and learning the appropriate report writing method.

Within the scope of this course, the student chooses a current and unprocessed topic in the field of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, examines this topic in the literature, prepares a presentation using current articles and presentation techniques. The scope of this course includes the preparation of seminars on physiotherapy evaluation and treatment for different diseases in the fields of neurological, orthopedic, cardiopulmonary, obstetric and pediatric rehabilitation, rehabilitation in rheumatic diseases and muscle diseases, athlete health, public health and vocational rehabilitation by the students under the supervision of the lecturer. It is aimed to gain and develop students' research, patient evaluation and treatment program planning and presentation skills.

This course aims to describe the concept of health, factors affecting health, the role of physiotherapists in primary health services, preventive approaches, health promotion, and preventive rehabilitation in the community for healthy people and people with chronic diseases. At the end of this course the students will be able to describe the concept of health,  factors affecting health, the role of physiotherapists in primary health services,  methods of preventive approaches, health promotion, preventive rehabilitation in the community for healthy people and people with chronic disease (public schools, special education schools, different population). 

The purpose of this course is to understand how knowledge of human strengths and limitations can lead to better system design. Course is designed to teach the importance of human element in work environment, work environment design. Thus ultimately to teach the different approaches of human factors that help to reduce errors, increase productivity, enhance safety and comfort. The research methods and principles in ergonomics that can be provide more efficient and comfortable places for working and living will be explored by considering the human body and work physiology, biomechanics, anthropometry, information processing and environmental factors. Understand Human biology, physiology and anthropometry in order to accomplish fatigue assessment of workers. Information retrieval and control in humans, and fundamentals of industrial product design.

Performs the necessary measurement-evaluation and planning for physiotherapy and rehabilitation by using theoretical and practical principles in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation.

Identifies, analyzes, selects and applies appropriate treatment methods based on evidence, using the data obtained, and monitors their development.

Has access to scientific knowledge in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation, monitoring, evaluating and applying the current literature.

Solves problems specific to the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation in accordance with scientific evidence.

Carries out a study independently by using his/her knowledge in the field of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation and takes responsibility as a team member in cooperation with other professional groups working in this field.

Developing the ability to search literature related to the advanced thesis topic with the help of the thesis supervisor of the aimed study, to be able to make conclusions from the findings and to make suggestions and to report and defend the research. It is based on the preparation of the ethics committee, the validity and reliability of the master thesis to be implemented and the start of the thesis and the start of the thesis writing and the thesis work. With the end of the work, the thesis presentation and board approval determine the graduation status. At the end of the course, graduate student's work includes presentation of working in the presence of the delegation determined by the department.

The aim of this course is to examine mechanics and mechanics of body tissues and joints, movements and forces that give rise to these movements in mechanical laws, comparing them to pathological states of the musculoskeletal system. Analyzes of movement, kinetic and kinematic analysis of healthy, patient and disability, kinesiology of body tissues and joints, musculoskeletal pathologies. The student attaining this course gains the ability to evaluate and analyze movements in individuals with diseases that are related to the musculoskeletal system. Gain the ability to interpret and use what can be done in terms of increasing the success of rehabilitation, which is healthy and has diseases related to musculoskeletal system.
