Offer 1 with catalog number 1023218ANR for all students in the 1st semester at a (A) Bachelor - preliminary level.
BIOMECHANICS
The biomechanics of the human musculoskeletal system entails the study of (the applications of) linear and rotational kinematics and kinetics in human movement.
ANATOMIE
The osteology and arthrology of the human limbs, the head, the trunk and the neck is taught during the lectures, on the basis of an extensive series of slides and associated anatomical sketches on the blackboard. This is followed by an introduction in the anatomy of cardio-respiratory tract and the gastrointestinal system
BIOMECHANICS
The presentations used in the lectures are available on Canvas.
ANATOMY
during the course some interactive sessionswill beoprganized in the anatomy lab. it is mandatory to ware a clean wite lab-coat which costs between 20 and 30€. These cost can not be claimed on fellow students, the responsible teacher or the faculty. the costs are reasonable estimations. in case a student might experience financial difficulties to cover these expences he/she should contact the Social service department for Students (
student.vub.be/financiering )
This course intends to provide a profound basic knowledge of the human anatomy. This knowledge is mandatory to act adequately as a clinician.
- The student knows the correct Latin names (Terminologia Anatomica) of the different parts of the human body with a focus on the musculoskeletal system
- The student knows the general structure of bones, muscles, nerves and vessels
- The student knows the insertions, the course, the localisation and function of anatomical structures
- The student knows the innervation and the vascularisation of muscles
- The student is able to describe the functional and topographical relationship of groups of anatomical structures (muscles, vessels, nerves, topographical regions)
- The student knows the function of specific anatomical structures (main and additional functions)
- The students has a basic knowledge of the cardiorespiratory and gastrointestinal systems
- The student is able to reproduce schematic representations of specific anatomical structures and regions
The student is able to apply biomechanical laws of linear and rotational kinematics and kinetics to movement, rehabilitation and sports.
-The student adapts a positive attitude towards a profound knowledge of human anatomy to be able to use this knowledge in a clinical context and other courses (pathology and treatment)
-the student adapts a positive attitude towards a profound knowledge of human anatomy and its relevance for rehabilitation sciences
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Written Exam determines 50% of the final mark.
Other Exam determines 50% of the final mark.
Within the Written Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:
The exam consists of two parts: "anatomy" and "biomechanics"'.
The part "anatomy" consists of multiple choice questions and schemes with a higher pass mark and has a weight of 50% in the total score.
The part "biomechanics" consists of multiple choice questions with a higher pass mark and open questions and has a weight of 50% in the total score.
Partial scores are not rounded. In case a partial score is lower than 50/100 the student is unable to pass the course; and the lowest partial score forms the total exam result with a maximum of 9/20.
Partial results are not transfered to the re-exam or the next academic year.
In case a student is permitted, due to force, to take the exam at an other moment then previewed, the exam will have a different format and will be organized orally iso MS
