Learning objectives

The aim of the course is to introduce the student to the concepts of neuromechanics and motor control applied to preventive and adapted motor activities. At the end of the course the student will be able to understand the mechanical and neurophysiological principles that govern movement and relate musculoskeletal structures and functions to movement from a neuromechanical and quantitative perspective, with particular attention to subjects suffering from neuromuscular and the elderly population. Upon completion of the course the student will be able to: 1) describe movement with correct terminology from a biomechanical and neurophysiological point of view; 2) understand and quantify the characteristics of linear and angular motion; 3) and the causes and effects of forces and angular kinetics on human movement; 4) know the neuromechanics of the musculoskeletal system and the principles of motor control of human movement applied to the elderly population and to subjects with neuromotor deficits; 5) interpret and analyze the kinematic and kinetic parameters and the muscular intervention of gait in healthy, elderly and neuromuscular pathological subjects; 6) evaluate the biomechanical and motor control characteristics of common motor tasks in normal and pathological conditions.

Prerequisites and basic notions

A good knowledge of the fundamental concepts of anatomy, physiology and physics applied to movement.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The grade is awarded in thirtieths and is composed of the grade of the written exam with open questions + an integration relating to the grade of the project work relating to the ATPs
