Locomotor System and Physics and Rehabilitation Medicine 1 (first year)
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
- Conoscere etiologia, diagnosi e principi terapeutici delle più comuni malattie dell'apparato muscolo scheletrico, con particolare riguardo alle loro manifestazioni a carico dell'arto inferiore e del piede;
- Acquisire principi, logica diagnostica e prognostica ed obiettivi terapeutici della medicina riabilitativa;
- Conoscerne i mezzi terapeutici soprattutto per quanto attiene la disabilità derivante da deficit funzionali dell'arto inferiore e del piede.

Course syllabus and organization
Single session
Responsible
For the lessons of the first semester the teaching, given the current health situation, will be carried out entirely at a distance.
Course syllabus
Topics covered: anatomy of the foot, ankle and leg. Physiology of foot, ankle and leg. history of foot and ankle biomechanics; outline of classical mechanics and musculotendinous physiology. study of foot and ankle biomechanics (static and dynamic). biomechanics of the physiological step (study of the determinants of walking, oscillations of the center of body mass, study of the role of the individual joints of the lower limb in the path, muscle activity). biomechanics of the pathological step (excess of pronation and supination and compensation mechanisms, origin of the most common deformities of the foot and structuring mechanisms). running and jumping biomechanics. The main pathologies affecting the foot and ankle
Prerequisites for admission
Notions of general anatomy, physiology and physiopathology are required
Teaching methods
Frontal lessons supported by visual and audiovisual media, presentation of clinical cases in order to stimulate discussion and interaction between students and teacher.
