Clinical Evaluation of Human Movement

Base Knowledge

Examination and Assessment; Human Movement Studies.

Teaching Methodologies

Theoretical and theoretical practical classes (T10; T/P20) aimed at transmitting knowledge about clinical movement tests for Diagnosis in physiotherapy and developing the ability to interpret them in the physiotherapy diagnosis process.

Learning Results

Develop knowledge and understanding at an in-depth level about the analysis and evaluation of human movement.
Posse and solve problems, infer, hypothesize and make clinical judgments about the assessment of human movement.
Compare and contrast the human movement assessment modalities available for investigating movement problems.
Justify the choice of human movement assessment modalities for clinical problems commonly found in clinical physiotherapy practice
• Critically analyze the literature on the assessment of human movement and apply this knowledge in clinical practice.
• Analyze movement to facilitate diagnosis of common clinical conditions based on findings.
• Integrate the results of human movement assessment into clinical practice.

Program

Clinical analysis of human movement, qualitative and quantitative.

Mechanical analysis of human movement, including: Linear kinematics; Angular kinematics; Linear kinetics; Angular kinetics; Types of mechanical analysis.

Analysis and evaluation of human movement, including: Functions of joints and bones; Functions of muscles; Functions of movement and motor behavior

Grading Methods

Continuous assessment, through assessment of participation in activities carried out in class.

Assessment through individual work.
