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.

Assessment methods and Criteria
The exams will take place with a written test with open questions possibly supplemented with an oral examination always oriented to test the student's ability to know the pathologies described during lessons
