Learning outcomes
Objectives: The aim of this course is to provide students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to design and execute physiotherapy care plans for patients who have disorders, suffered injuries or undergone orthopaedic surgeries affecting their musculoskeletal system.
Ability to perform basic examination of the musculoskeletal system and recommend appropriate therapy.
Prerequisites
Prior knowledge in anatomy, orthopaedics, traumatology, and basic kinesiotherapy is required, ideally completed with an exam.

Assessment methods and criteria
Mark, Written exam

The student is required to actively participate in classes and fulfill all pre-specified requirements: - During the semester, the student will complete five anatomy tests. To successfully meet the credit requirements, the student must achieve at least 50% correct answers in each test. - If the student fails any of the tests, they will be required to take a comprehensive anatomy test at the end of the semester, in which they must score at least 70%. Two attempts will be available. - At the end of the semester, the student will also take a theoretical multiple-choice written exam covering the material discussed in class. A minimum score of 60% is required to pass. Three exam dates will be scheduled at the beginning of the semester.
