9796960 - CHINESIOLOGIA

Teacher: GIUSEPPE MUSUMECI

Expected Learning Outcomes

The course aims to provide students with the fundamental theoretical and methodological tools for the knowledge of Kinesiology, or the science that studies the movement of the human body. The student will also have to know the main landmarks, lines and topographic reference areas essential for the study of the surface of the human body as well as the different types of movement in relation to the spatial planes / axes.

Course Structure

Lectures, in-depth seminars, cooperative teaching (student-teacher) through the sharing of didactic material and multimedia supports.

If the teaching is given in a mixed or remote mode, the necessary changes with respect to what was previously stated may be introduced, in order to respect the program envisaged and reported in the syllabus.

Required Prerequisites

Knowledge of anatomy and theory of human movement.

Attendance of Lessons

Mandatory.

Detailed Course Content

Functional Anatomy and Kinesiology.

Locomotor system (bones, joints and muscles)

KINESIOLOGY OF THE LOWER LIMB

KINESIOLOGY OF THE UPPER LIMB

Learning Assessment

Learning Assessment Procedures

Oral exam. The student will have to take the exam in the sessions provided for in the exam calendar of the Degree Course. The commission will be composed of the teachers holding the course.

For the attribution of the final grade, the following parameters will be taken into account:

Grade 29-30 with honors: the student has an IN-DEPTH knowledge of the subject, has excellent communication skills and masters the medical-scientific language.

Grade 26-28: the student has a GOOD knowledge of the subject and explains the arguments clearly using an appropriate medical-scientific language;

Grade 22-25: the student has a DISCREET knowledge of the subject, even if limited to the main topics and exposes the topics quite clearly with a fair property of language;

Mark 18-21: the student has the MINIMUM knowledge of the subject and exposes the arguments in a sufficiently clear way although the property of language is not very developed;

Failed exam: the student DOES NOT HAVE THE MINIMUM KNOWLEDGE required of the main course contents. The ability to use specific language is very little or no and is unable to independently apply the knowledge acquired.
