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
Learning unit contents :
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.
Physiotherapy
Locomotor rehabilitation This course describes the techniques of articular mobilization useful for the practice of physiotherapy.
Palpatory anatomy
...
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 learning unit :
Biomechanics
To provoke a reflection on the mechanisms and safety of athletic movements.
Physiotherapy
to raise up a rationale on the effectiveness and safety of the mobilizations in professional practice.
Palpatory anatomy
...
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 :
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)
Physiotherapy
Introduction to Physiotherapy (1st year).
