Learning Objectives

Orthopaedics and Traumatology
The aim is to provide the knowledge of the main musculoskeletal diseases of orthopedic and traumatology. The course provides knowledge regarding common orthopedic and traumatological diseases in physical and sports activities, related to their impact on the planning, organization, and management of motor activities, in relation to the various ages : from thepediatric age to the elderly.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
The Physical and Rehabilitative Medicine module aims to identify the main neurological and orthopedic pathologies in order to evaluate their permanent outcomes in individual training programs and therefore manage physical exercise in subjects suffering from permanent outcomes of neurological diseases (cerebral stroke, head trauma, multiple sclerosis, etc.). The course also aims to deepen the knowledge on the principles of kinesiology of the spine, hip, knee and shoulder and the main pathologies of these joint districts, to know the various types of muscle injuries and overload pathologies in the sportic (enthesitis, tendinitis).
