About Study Course

Objective

To provide deeper knowledge in musculoskeletal functional anatomy, understanding and ability to analyse function of different musculoskeletal structures in static positions and in dynamics for patients with functional and structural problems.

Preliminary Knowledge

Human Anatomy and Physiology, Basics of Musculoskeletal Biomechanics, Basics of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, Musculoskeletal Pathology.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.On completion of the course students will have gained deeper understanding and ability to analyse musculoskeletal structure and functions of human body and its segments related to the human movement. Ability to analyse functional and structural changes and their role in mobility and stability. Ability to explain functional relation between different parts of body involved in activity.

Skills

1.On completion of the course students will be able to describe and analyse patients' static and dynamic body positions in different situations, have deeper understanding of role of relation between different parts of body in musculoskeletal pathology development in clinical situations.

Competences

1.On completion of the course students will have deeper understanding and ability to analyse, differentiate and interpret the role and importance of different human body structures involved in movement providing for healthy individuals and for patients with functional and structural changes.
