This course will focus at different topics in the field of human anatomy and physiology with a focus on sport injuries and sport physiology. Next to that there will be a focus on gait analysis and movement disorders in patients with stroke, SCI and amputations. Lectures and one more practical course will be used alternatively. In addition, guest speakers who are experts in the field of rehabilitation will provide one or more lectures. The course will be examined by a written exam.
Topics that will be addressed are:
- Anatomy

- Anatomy and pathology of the lower extremities with a focus on injuries of the knee
- Anatomy in vivo with a focus on the muscular structures involved in sporting activities
- Clinical anatomy and sport related physiology
- Neuro-anatomy for motor control
- Movement disorders in Stroke, Spinal Cord injuries and persons with an Amputation of the lower limbs.
Physiology of sports
- Energy systems and muscle fiber typing in relation to sports
- Fick’s law and the Wasserman wheels
