General description A materia de Biomecanica do Membro Inferior supón o coñecemento dos fundamentos da cinemática e cinética do membro inferior tanto analíticamente como na sua globalidade funcional. A través da biomecánica descriptiva e aplicada a sistemas de rexistro, o alumno desarrollará por un lado a descripción do movemento en términos de desplazamento, recorridos angulares e factores estabilizadores do mesmo; así como as forzas responsables dos devanditos sistemas estáticos e/ou dinámicos.

Assessment comments
The percentages assigned to each test may undergo small modifications from one course to another depending on the needs of the subject.



OVERCOMING THE MATTER

To pass the subject it is necessary for the student to obtain a grade of 5 or higher in:
1- written test (mixed). It is the theoretical exam that will be carried out at the end of the semester on the date approved by the Faculty Board. At least 50% of the assigned grade must be reached in each part
2- Practical test. The same day of the theoretical exam and then the practical exam will be carried out.

STATUS OF STUDENT NOT PRESENTED

The student who, while enrolled in the subject, does not attend the different established evaluation activities, will be considered as "Not submitted" (NP).
In the absence of specific regulation for this degree (it will be followed if there is a specific regulation for the Degree in Podiatry), it will be considered that it must be qualified as "Not presented":
a) when the continuous evaluation process is not completed or
b) when he does not take the tests of the official evaluation period.
If the student takes only one of the final tests (written or practical), it will appear in the record as failed. If one of the parts is approved and the other is suspended, the approved part will be kept until the July call.



HONORS

Those students who obtain a 9 or higher grade may obtain honorary enrollment (MH). This rating will be awarded to the best grades, taking into account the possibility of granting an honorary enrollment for every 20 students.
STUDENT WITH PARTIAL ENROLLMENT

Those students with partial enrollment will be subject to the same criteria.


SECOND OPPORTUNITY
The passing of any of the parts (theoretical or practical) through the written test or practical test by the student in the first opportunity [meaning with a grade of 5 or higher] will be saved only until the second chance. On the second opportunity, only the suspension will be examined, but if it is suspended again on this second opportunity, the one approved on the first opportunity will not be saved for the new registration. Both the theoretical and the practical part will remain pending for the following course.

SECOND REGISTRATION
The student has the right to start the evaluation process (continuous and final) from scratch. However, she can choose to have some or all of her continuous assessment scores saved.


EXTRAORDINARY CALL FOR DECEMBER
The student will be examined through a theoretical exam (mixed test) and a practical exam (practical test).


PLAGIARISM. IMPLICATIONS Fraudulent performance by the student of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply the qualification of fail "0" in the corresponding opportunity, thus invalidating any qualification obtained in all the evaluation activities of facing the call.


ACADEMIC DISPENSATION Those students who have been granted an academic exemption will only attend for the practical, mixed and oral presentation tests. This principle will also apply to SICUE-ERASMUS students.

The fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities, once proven, will directly imply the qualification of fail in the call in which it is committed: the student will be graded with "suspense" (numerical note 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, whether the offense is committed on the first opportunity or on the second. For this, it will proceed to modify the qualification of it in the minutes of the first opportunity, if necessary ".

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS: To help achieve an immediate sustainable contour and fulfill the objective of action number 5: %ou201CDocencia and healthy and sustainable environmental and social research%ou201D of the "Green Campus Ferrol Action Plan": · Upon delivery of two documentary works that are carried out in this matter, they will be carried out through Moodle, in digital format without the need to print them, not in the case of being carried out on paper: plastics will not be used, double-sided printing will be carried out, recycled paper will be used and printing will be avoided of drafts. · A sustainable use of two resources must be made and the prevention of negative impacts on the natural environment taking into account the importance of two ethical principles related to the values of sustainability in personal and professional behavior. · Facilitate the full integration of students who, for physical, sensory, mental or sociocultural reasons, experience difficulties in a suitable, equal and beneficial access to university life.

 In the realization of two works of the material, or plagiarism and the use of non-original material, including that obtained through the Internet, without express indication of its origin and, if that is the case, or permission of its author, it will be qualified with suspense ( 0.0) no activity. All iso are preceded by disciplinary responsibilities rather than there may be a place after or corresponding procedure.

GENDER PERSPECTIVE: Second, the different applicable regulations for university teaching should be incorporated into the gender perspective in this matter (non-sexist language used, bibliography of authors of both sexes used, intervention in class of male and female students encouraged...). They will work to identify and modify prejudices and sexist attitudes and influence the environment to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. Situations of discrimination based on gender must be detected and actions and measures to correct them must be provided.
