Gait Analysis and Orthoses Laboratory
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
Apprendere, nei particolari , lo svolgimento della deambulazionbe umana, conoscendo la differenza tra cammino e corsa. Apprendere le diverse fasi dello svolgimento collegandole alla fisiolgia muscolare, alla biomeccanica ed alla patomeccanica
Expected learning outcomes
Gli studenti devono dimostrare di conoscere, nei minimi particolari, le dinamiche del passo umano sapendo distinguere la deambulazione "normale" dalla deambulazione patologica e stendere un piano terapeutico comprendente la rieducazione e/o la terapia ortesica correlata
Lesson period: year
Single course
This course cannot be attended as a single course. Please check our list of single courses to find the ones available for enrolment.
Course syllabus and organization
Single session
For the lessons of the 1st semester the teaching, given the current health situation, will be carried out entirely at a distance.
Course syllabus
The static position: balance and constraints
- step, hemipass and related measures
- gait analysis: support and oscillation phase
- ground reaction forces
- subtalar joint as a determining factor in the gait cycle
- functional disturbances observed for each floor of the space
- breech pathologies in functional disorders (hallux limitus, plantar fasciitis, sesamoiditis ...).
