OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The primary objective of this course is to enable students to analyze musculoskeletal and nervous system pathologies, deformities, and clinical presentations based on anatomical and pathophysiological foundations, and to explain the functional consequences of these diseases. Furthermore, it aims to develop the competencies of prospective healthcare professionals in correctly identifying, classifying, and distinguishing between clinical presentations of these pathologies in their professional practice, thereby providing them with a comprehensive perspective on diagnostic processes and clinical symptoms.
Contents of the Course Unit:	The course content covers orthopedic cases such as rheumatic diseases, fracture mechanisms and complications, bone infections and tumors, as well as congenital anomalies and peripheral vascular diseases. It also includes the examination of clinical presentations and pathological processes related to spinal cord injuries, pyramidal, extrapyramidal and cerebellar system disorders, muscle diseases, polyneuritis, and peripheral nerve injuries from a neurological perspective.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
It describes the anatomical structure and functional components of the musculoskeletal system using basic clinical terminology.
It classifies musculoskeletal diseases by grouping them according to their etiology (rheumatic, infectious, neoplastic, traumatic, etc.).
It explains the pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical course of musculoskeletal pathologies and congenital deformities.
It correctly defines the basic concepts and diagnostic terms related to central and peripheral nervous system diseases.
It classifies nervous system diseases by categorizing them according to the neural structures affected (pyramidal, extrapyramidal, cerebellar system, etc.).
It explains sensory, motor, and functional impairments caused by neurological and neuromuscular diseases through clinical presentations.
