ORI1100 Anatomy and Physiology Course description

Anatomy is fundamental in order to be able to assess the functioning and disability of users with problems relating to the musculoskeletal system. Physiology is fundamental to the understanding of normal and pathological processes.

In this course, the students will receive an introduction to functional examinations of upper and lower limbs and the spine. Functioning is mapped and assessed by means of systematic examinations. The topics will be covered in more depth in the orthopaedic technology courses, which will review specific types of prostheses and orthoses.
