Educational objectives	The course aims to provide a primary university education regarding the methodologies and techniques related to the pathologies of the musculoskeletal system.
Prerequisites	Knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and pathologies of the musculoskeletal system.
Teaching methods	Theoretical lessons and practical training.
Other information	At the end of the course the student will be able to evaluate the person with musculoskeletal disorders through a careful medical history, global and specific tests to build an individualized rehabilitation project (PRI) for the specific clinical condition, using the most rehabilitative therapy techniques suitable for the specific patient in compliance with the principles of evidence based clinical practice
Learning verification modality	Oral and practice examination.
Extended program	Conducting a clinical examination: anamnestic collection (brief excursus on pain), Inspection, functional examination, clinical reasoning. Taking into account the main anatomical regions (lumbar- AAII, sacro-iliac- THORAX, cervical AASS). Ability to put the indications and the limits of treatment with various proposed physiotherapy techniques and to activate interdisciplinary collaborations with other specialists in the health field. Training in the correct execution of the mobilization techniques of the spine and limbs according to the principles of the most important schools (with brief references to arthrocinematics). Creation of a cockpit model for the rational use of mobilization techniques. Some forms of therapeutic exercise will be proposed, for control and stabilization, and techniques for neuromotor recovery.
