Biomedical Basis of Physiotherapy: Normal and Functional Anatomy
1855-F1-APF-SJZ
Classes are conducted in the form of lectures and exercises. The topics of the lectures are issues related to the anatomical structure of the organs and systems of the human body, with particular emphasis on the structure of the musculoskeletal system.
In the exercises, students acquire practical skills using modern methods, i. e. virtual high-fidelity sectional anatomy, which enables to learn human anatomy under controlled and standardized conditions.
Additionally, didactic tools such as:
- a virtual anatomical table for learning the correct anatomy in conjunction with clinical and radiological anatomy;
- auscultation trainers and palpation trainers
- anatomical models.
The teaching of human anatomy under conditions of medical simulation allows a comprehensive improvement of the basic skills in the field of clinical anatomy and provides the basis for the clinical conclusion.
