Learning Objectives
The course aims to provide students with basic knowledge on the main pathologies and the most frequent traumas that can occur at the level of the musculoskeletal apparatus, but also at the level of other organs and systems that have repercussions on the level of structure and function of this apparatus. Specifically, the knowledge acquired aims to develop knowledge of the anatomical and structural modifications of bones, muscles and joint components in various congenital, inflammatory and traumatic pathologies, in order to allow the student to recognize the causes of reduced or modified motor ability.
