Main themes
The main themes to achieve these objectives are :
- biomechanics of the muscle,
- electromyography and kinesiology,
- strength of biological material like bones, tendons and ligaments
Aims
The aim of this course is to apply the principles of biomechanics in physiotherapy. Using these principles, the student will be able to identify the mechanical causes of several pathologies of the locomotory system, et de justify therapeutic design from a biomechanical point of view.
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
