- Module 2 of the BCMA Level 2 course focuses on an in-depth analysis of the lower limbs, in particular the twists and misalignments that can affect the mobility and stability of the body. This module aims to provide a detailed understanding of the biomechanical mechanisms of the legs, knees and feet, as well as methods for assessing and correcting common dysfunctions in these areas.
- Analysis of Torsions in the Lower Limbs
- Participants will begin by exploring torsions in the femur, leg skeleton and knee. The emphasis will be on torsion awareness, with a practical approach followed by a theoretical discussion. Anatomical landmarks will be used to assess potential knee misalignments and understand the predisposing terrain. This first part of the module is essential for identifying structural dysfunctions that can affect gait and posture.
- Excess Muscle Chain Activity
- The afternoon of the first day is devoted to the study of muscle chains, in particular the anterolateral (AL), posterolateral (PL), anteromedial (AM) and posteromedial (PM) chains. Participants will learn to recognise excess activity in these muscle chains and how these imbalances can create competition between them, thereby disrupting normal function of the lower limbs. Understanding these interactions is crucial to developing effective corrective strategies.
- Clinical testing of the lower limbs
- The second day focuses on a detailed clinical examination. Participants will perform mobility and tension tests on the coxofemoral joint, as well as on the various anterolateral, posterolateral, anteromedial and posteromedial muscle chains. These tests are designed to identify mobility restrictions and excessive tension, enabling a precise assessment of potential dysfunctions.
- Mobility of the Tibia, Fibula and Foot
- The afternoon of the second day is devoted to specific testing of the mobility of the tibia, fibula and foot, including prono-supination and rotation. Participants will learn how to assess the freedom of movement of these structures, which are crucial to a healthy, balanced gait. A deeper understanding of the interactions between the tibia and fibula, and their impact on the foot, is gained to better treat mobility problems.
- Correction of Lower Limb Dysfunctions and Tuning
- The final day of the module focuses on correcting dysfunctions such as recurvatum of the tibia and femur. Participants will practise testing and correcting these conditions to restore normal function to the lower limbs. The day ends with synthetic work on the foot, including the marking of the various players on the foot after bony location and a reminder of the physiology of the foot. Finally, an overall tuning of the lower limbs will be carried out, incorporating all the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the module.
- This module aims to enhance practitioners' skills in the assessment and treatment of biomechanical imbalances of the lower limbs, by providing practical and theoretical tools to improve the management of patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorders.
