Prerequisites
The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
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
Learning outcomes
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | 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. |
Content
- Notion of tribology (how to study the mechanical properties of biological structures: static solicitation (creep, stress - strain diagram, stress relaxation...) dynamic solicitation (effect of speed on the visco-elastic properties of biological structures, resonant frequency...), fatigue test. - Rheological properties of bone tissues, effect of growth and aging on these properties, effect immobilization and of exercise on these properties, mechanical properties of osteo-synthesis materiel... - Rheological properties of cartilage, wear of cartilage, effect of immobilization and exercise on these properties. - Rheological properties of ligaments et tendons, effect of immobilization and exercise on these properties. - Biomechanical properties of muscle, effect of exercise and immobilization on these properties. - Muscular reinforcement: isotonic reinforcement, isometric reinforcement, isokinetic reinforcement, the stretching. - Electromyography (EMG), origin and characteristic of the signal, electrodes, treatment of the signal, effect of force, length, speed and fatigue of the muscle on the EMG.
Teaching methods
REVERSE CLASS - TEAMWORK
Students come to the course during the month assigned to them by the secretariat between October and January. Project work in reverse class.
A theoretical presentation is made by an expert at the beginning of the month in which the student is to participate in the project. The basic notions are given to him/her. Then, the students are divided into teams of 5-6 students and choose a given theme on which they will work together for 2 to 3 weeks. The project consists in carrying out bibliographical research, having a meeting with a company, meeting with patients or professionals, doing research on Adhoc websites. The students have to make a presentation of their results at the end of the month of 10 minutes. This presentation is their exam mark.

Evaluation methods
CERTIFYING CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT/ NO IN-SESSION EXAM
Attendance at this course is required. Course holders may, under Article 72 of the General Regulations for Studies and Examinations, propose to the jury to oppose the registration of a student who has not attended the presentation of instructions and oral presentations, during the January/June or September session.
The examination consists of the oral presentation of the project in groups of 5.
