The goal of the course is therefore to understand the structure of the various components of the osteoarticular system and their functional relationships with the muscular system. The module is organized through interactive frontal lectures, aiming to stimulate sufficient understanding to allow students to explore specific topics of interest related to the Orthopedic Techniques degree program. TEACHING METHODS Teaching will consist of frontal lectures, during which visual aids and anatomical models will be used to illustrate and discuss with students all topics required for the final examination. SYLLABUS/CONTENT The skeletal system: introduction. Joints: classification, structure, and movements. Axial skeleton: skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage, including related joints.
