MASTERY OF FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY AND MEANINGFUL LEARNING IN INTRODUCTORY BIOMECHANICS

[The upper ankle joint. Biomechanics and functional anatomy].

Dorsoplantar motion in the upper ankle joint is around one "transverse" rotational axis. In relation to the lower leg this axis is oblique joining the tips of the malleoli. Talocrural motion is highly precise compared to other human joints. Most of the stability and undisturbed motion in the loaded joint is afforded by the intimate osteocartilagineous contact. The rule of the collateral ligamen...

Anatomy & Biomechanics of the Hip

The hip joint is unique anatomically, physiologically, and developmentally; therefore understanding the basic structure and biomechanics of the hip is essential for clinicians, physiotherapists and engineers alike. In this review we outline the function of the key anatomical components of the hip and discuss the relevant related biomechanical issues. Understanding the forces that cross the hip ...

Hip Anatomy and Biomechanics in the Athlete

The hip is a unique joint that possesses both mobility and stability because of its anatomic configuration. This joint is crucial to athletic activities involving the lower extremity, such as running, jumping, and kicking, as well as to the generation and transference of forces for activities involving the upper extremity. The tremendous loads that the hip withstands result from muscular, gravi...

The Effect of Adapted Model of Mastery Learning on Cognitive and Practical Learning of Nursing Students

Introduction: Effective clinical teaching requires educational methods capable of developing an appropriate level of knowledge and practice in students. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adapted model of mastery learning on cognitive and practical learning of nursing students. Methods: In a quasi-experimental study using pre-test and post-test with two group design, 52 nur...
