Kinesiology and functional evaluation (2020/2021)
The teaching is organized as follows:
Program
------------------------
MM: CHINESIOLOGIA FUNZIONALE
------------------------
Anatomy and kinematics (arthrocinematic and osteocinematic) of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. analysis of muscle function, kinesiology of the spine. Anatomy and kinematics of the sacroiliac joint. Thorax anatomy and kinematics (ventilatory function, kinesiological analysis) - Introduction to functional kinesiology: definition of functional kinesiology, principles of kinesiology with particular reference to the functionality of the agonist, antagonist, fixators and neutralizer muscles. Functionality of mono and biarticular muscles. - The standing posture: concepts of balance, stability, center of mass, center of pressure. Strategies for maintaining standing posture; analysis of muscle function to maintain posture - Postural changes: analysis of the Sit-to-Stand (STS) transition; evaluation of the single phases from a kinetic and kinematic point of view. - Walking: analysis of the kinetics and kinematics of walking; assessment of muscle function in the individual phases of the gait cycle - Functionality of the upper limb (Reaching and Reach-to Grasp) with kinesiological evaluation (reasoning on agonists-antagonists-fixers- neutralizers)

-Define the movement planes, the anatomical position and the classification of joint movements with the relative exceptions. Define the reference systems and the vectors. -Define the characteristics of the laws of gravity applied to the human body, the tables of the linear somatic dimensions, the weighted dimensions and the distances of the centers of gravity from the fulcrums - Identify the vector of muscle strength based on the anatomy of the muscle by choosing the point of application, the direction, the verse and the module, and decomposing it into the rotational and axial components, constructing the biomechanical rectangle and using the main trigonometric formulas - To identify the principle of muscle reciprocity and the main mechanical factors that influence the intensity of muscle tension: type of contraction, orientation of muscle fibers; voltage / length ratio and speed voltage -Define the friction forces applied to the human body, the concepts of closed and open kinetic chain and the main examples applied to the human body -Analize a segmental gesture by identifying the external and internal forces, considering the relative moments with respect to one or more appropriately chosen axes and drawing an explanatory diagram -Describing the curves of the spine as a whole, the type vertebra, the elements of intervertebral connection and functional divisions of the rachis, the physiology of the intervertebral disc.

------------------------
MM: VALUTAZIONE FUNZIONALE IN FISIOTERAPIA
------------------------
The course will cover the following topics: - The articular evaluation of the shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, foot and trunk districts and the goniometric measurement. - The muscular evaluation of the muscles of the shoulder, elbow and forearm, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, foot and trunk. The conventional gradation of muscular strength, the gradation of muscular strength against resistance in severely eliminated conditions, the isometric gradation of muscle strength. - The assessment of muscular length and its measurement.

Examination Methods
------------------------ MM: CHINESIOLOGIA FUNZIONALE ------------------------ ------------------------ MM: FISIOLOGIA DEI SISTEMI MOTORI ------------------------ Exam in written form, oral integration on request. ------------------------ MM: BIOMECCANICA E CHINESIOLOGIA SEGMENTALE ------------------------ Aims: To pass the exam students must demonstrate that they have learned the theoretical contents of this teaching. Contents: The exam content covers all the topics covered in class and reported in full in the program of this course. Assessment methods: - written test (multiple choice test) - oral exam by interview with the teacher; Evaluation method: - written test (score from 0-30); - oral test (score from 0-30); The final grade will be given by the average of the two individual tests and will be expressed in 30ths. There are no exam differences between attending and non-attending students. ------------------------ MM: VALUTAZIONE FUNZIONALE IN FISIOTERAPIA ------------------------
