Prerequisites

It is advisable that the student has achieved basic skills in Anatomy, locomotor system physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and histology.

It is absolutely necessary to have achieved sufficient knowledge in:

1. General and specific anatomy of the locomotor system.

2. General and specific physiology of the locomotor system.

3. Physiopathology and semiology of the locomotor system.

The student will acquire the commitment of preserving the confidentiality and professional secrecy of the data to which he / she may have access in the case of learning to the assistance services. Also to maintain an attitude of professional ethics in all its actions.

Objectives and Contextualisation

Development of semiology and complementary examination of the locomotor system and of the systemic autoimmune diseases.

 

General etiology of musculoskeletal diseases and of systemic autoimmune diseases. Pathophysiology and large locomotor system syndromes.

 

Distributive areas

A. Introduction to the pathology of the locomotor system: course distribution, bone patterns, pathophysiology of the locomotor System

 

B. Etiology, pathophysiology, semiology, classification, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the musculoskeletal system traumatisms
