Course books

None. For further exploration, the following is recommended: Clarkson. Valutazione cinesiologica: articolarità, test muscolari e valutazione funzionale. Piccin Ed., 2024

Assessment

None.

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.

Attendance

Minimum mandatory attendance as per the internship regulations of the degree program (minimum 65% attendance).

Course books

To provide non-attending students with the opportunity to compensate through self-study for what is covered during the lessons, the following materials, which refer to the same program content, are indicated to promote full understanding: Clarkson. Valutazione cinesiologica: articolarità, test muscolari e valutazione funzionale. Piccin Ed., 2024
