Locomotor System and Physics and Rehabilitation Medicine 1 (second year)
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
Knowledge of the etiology, diagnosis and therapeutic principles of the most common diseases of the musculoskeletal system, with particular regard to their manifestations affecting the lower limb and foot;
Expected learning outcomes
knowing how to manage the clinical case in its entirety. Using the knowledge acquired in the three years of teaching, make a clinical reasoning based on EBM, choosing the best therapeutic path for the patient based on the clinical picture
Lesson period: year

Course syllabus and organization
Single session
Prerequisites for admission
Notions of general anatomy, physiology and physiopathology are required
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
Musculoskeletal system diseases
Course syllabus
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.
