Course Content
The mechanics and pathomechanics of the vertebral column; the mechanical and pathomechanical aspects of the pelvis, hip, knee, foot/ankle; and the mechanics and pathomechanics of the shoulder–arm complex, elbow, and hand.
Objectives of the Course
To asses the pathology of columna vertebralis, anatomical and mechanical properties; defining the anatomical and mechanical properties of the pelvis, hip, knee, foot / ankle, shoulder-arm complex, elbow, hand and wrist; gain the ability to relate the theoretical knowledge learned in this course to the upper and lower extremities and the pathological conditions of the spine.
