Aims

The student will gain a space perception of the various components of the locomotor system as well as their nervous control. He or she will be able to consider the specific mobility of each anatomical region and to functionnally integrate all the components of the same movement.

Main themes

Main themes
The main themes are:
- the detailed description of the joints, their muscles and the corresponding nerves
- the movement analysis of each joint : axes, ranges, facilitations and limitations.

Content and teaching methods

Content and teaching method
- Anatomy of the locomotor system (bones, joints, muscles, peripheral nerves).
- Movement analysis of each joint.
- Analysis of postures and dynamic gesture.
- Practical work : analysis of bones.
