Learning outcomes
The student must be able to apply the principles of kinesiology (kinetic chains, agonist muscles, antagonists, synergists) instate and dynamic condition:
- maintaining posture (sitting and standing)
- postural passages with particular reference to the transition from sitting to standing position
- walking
- going up and down stairs
- upper limb functionality (reaching, grasping, manipulation)
Program
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)
