Objectives of the Course

The aim of the course is to acquire skills and knowledge to record the history and evaluation of the patient, with basic principles of movement, posture analysis (anterior, lateral and posterior posture analysis), shortness and flexibility tests and evaluation, anthropometric measurements (circumference, length, diameter, and skinfold measurements), measurement of normal range of motion with goniometer, muscle strength and evaluation methods in a theoretical and practical basis.
