The curricular unit is theoretical, theoretical and practical and its main objective is the acquisition of reasoning skills and in-depth knowledge of the osteopathic-related science. Expository, interrogative and demonstrative methods and the analysis of case studies will be used to better assimilate the studied contents.
The final classification of the curricular unit results from the graades obtained in two written tests and one individual work: written tests 70% (35% + 35%) and individual work 30%.
- To understand the principles of osteopathic assessment and diagnosis associated with the somatic dysfunction mechanism, particularizing the approach to the structures studied in visceral osteopathy of the digestive system, autonomic nervous system and the structures addressed in cranial osteopathy;
- To demonstrate knowledge of theoretical and theoretical-practical concepts of anatomy, biomechanics, medical pathology, osteopathic pathology and osteopathic diagnosis related to visceral, cranial and autonomic nervous system osteopathic intervention;
- To integrate the principles of osteopathic assessment and diagnosis into osteopathic reasoning and clinical practice.
