Learning outcomes

The student will be able to:
- Understand the concepts of muscle chain, synergistic muscles, agonists / antagonists, stabilizers in relation to the general functional gesture
- know the biomechanics of simple physiological functional movements of the limbs
- know the biomechanics of physiological functional movements of the spine
- Know the biomechanics of physiological functional gestures involving multiple joints (postural passages)
- Perform a functional kinesiological observation of the main movements described above
- Make assumptions about which biomechanical alterations can be observed or detected

Program

- Review of concepts about musculoskeletal anatomy
- Introduction to muscle chains and mutual interactions: synergistic muscles, agonists / antagonists, stabilizers
- Biomechanics of functional movements of the upper limb
- Kinesiological observation/analysis of reaching, grasping and manipulation functions
- Biomechanics of functional movements of the inferior limb
- Kinesiological gait observation/analysis
- Biomechanics of functional movements of the spine
- Kinesiological observation/analysis of the spine in postural passages

Examination Methods

Theoretical-practical examination, with initial oral interview and subsequent practical session of observation of the kinesiological functions of the upper limb, the inferior limb and the rachis

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
