Spinal education and activities applied to motor sciences
At the end of the teaching, the student will have the basics to:
- discuss the recommendations related to low back pain management,
- evaluate spinal statics and recognize dysfunctions (eg. Scoliosis, hyperlordosis, hyperkyphosis...)
- assess the musculature involved in spinal dysfunction/pain
- appreciate the sensorimotor lumbar control
- discuss risk factors of low back pain in athletes,
- describe the different phases and objectives of the management of the athlete with low back pain until the return to sport,
- make recommendations regarding physical activities/sports to people with low back dysfunction/pain.
