- The terms of the movement and know how to recognize and identify the various chinesiological axes and plans,
- The elements that control and regulate the movement,
- The mechanisms needed to control posture,
- Exercise elements and how to properly mobilize the patient
- Maneuver and handle the subject with mild disabilities in transfers and postural changes;
- Introduce the student to the study and analysis of the step and the path cycle into the functional tasks of the lower limb

Educational objectives Knowledge and understanding of the fundamental laws and principles of mechanics (of point mass, point mass systems, rigid body, and fluids), thermodynamics and electromagnetism.
Ability to use the acquired theoretical knowledge for handling with methodological rigor the physical problems that arise in the fields of human movement, therapeutic exercise, and functional re-education.
Ability to relate to a problem with a logical, critical, and creative attitude, identifying the physical principles that underlie the problem.
Prerequisites Necessary prerequisites: basic knowledge of algebra.
Important prerequisites: basic knowledge of trigonometry.
Useful prerequisites: basic knowledge of mathematical analysis.
Teaching methods Face-to-face lectures on all subjects of the course.
Other information None.
Learning verification modality The exam consists of a unique written test.

The examination is aimed at assessing: a) the degree of knowledge and understanding; b) the ability to apply the acquired competences to the field of physiotherapy; c) the quality of presentation (clarity, coherence, scientific accuracy, completeness, ability to synthesize).

The written test has a duration of 1 hour and consist of 3 open-answer questions. For each topic, students are asked to discuss the possible applications in physiotherapy. A score from 0 to 10 points is assigned to each answer.
