Multidisciplinary approach to the musculoskeletal system (Part I) - Therory

Physiotherapy

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

Mechanotherapy

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

Physiotherapy

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

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

Mechanotherapy

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

To ensure patient safety, the student must be able to:


* Identify potential technical risks associated with the use of mechanotherapy equipment (pulley systems, traction tables, ergometers, suspension systems).
* Systematically check the operating condition, fastenings, and load limits of the equipment before use.
* Adjust equipment settings (lever arms, axes of rotation, resistance levels) to perfectly suit the patient's body type and condition, thereby avoiding harmful joint stress.
* Screen for absolute and relative contraindications (local or systemic) regarding the application of a specific mechanotherapy technique.
* Analyze the patient's clinical record to tailor the intensity, speed, and range of motion of the mechanical exercises.
* Immediately stop the session if clinical warning signs appear (abnormal pain, harmful compensatory movements, cardiovascular or autonomic signs) and reassess the situation.
* Position the patient stably and comfortably, ensuring adherence to safety protocols (securing straps, positioning of free body segments, accessibility of the emergency stop button).
* Explain safety instructions, the exercise procedure, and the appropriate course of action in the event of pain or discomfort to the patient.
* Actively supervise the execution of the movement to correct compensatory actions in real time and prevent repetitive micro-trauma.
