learning outcomes
Knowledge
will explain the etiopathogenesis of myofascial triggerpoints
defines the factors that contribute to their occurrence and clarifies the mechanisms of pain and muscle dysfunction in their presence
will explain the way muscles use elastic force during rapid movements
defines the role of proteins (tinin, nebulin) in elasticity and regulation of muscle contraction
will clarify the cognitive aspects of movement
describes the Gordon curve
