Language(s) of instruction :

French language

Organisation and examination :

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

Part I : Biomechanics

Analyses of movements and articulary constraints of the limbs including the muscular and articulary testing.
In coordination with the anatomy course, this course analyses the movements of articulations and focuses on range of motion and muscular testing. It studies the constraints undergone by the various articulations.

Part II : Physiotherapy

Locomotor rehabilitation This course describes the techniques of articular mobilization useful for the practice of physiotherapy.

Part III : Palpatory anatomy

...

Part IV : mechanotherapy

The structure of the course corresponds to the study of:

Mecano-therapy systems: levers - pulleys
Specific mountings geared for posture - traction - mobility
Guidelines and contra-indications of these systems
Loco-regional applications
Modern concepts: arthromotors, isokinetic dynamometers

Learning outcomes of the course :

Part I : Biomechanics

To provoke a reflection on the mechanisms and safety of athletic movements.

Part II : Physiotherapy

to raise up a rationale on the effectiveness and safety of the mobilizations in professional practice.

Part III : Palpatory anatomy

...

Part IV : mechanotherapy

Allowing an understanding of therapeutic guidelines and the limits of mechano-therapy in order to integrate it in other re-educative techniques.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

Part I : Biomechanics

Basic notions of experimental Physics in kinesitherapy and physical education including the mathematical introduction to the applied sciences (1st year)
Biomechanics (partim I: 1st year)

Part II : Physiotherapy

Introduction to Physiotherapy (1st year).
