Intervention Strategies in Physiotherapy I

Métodos de ensino

Expositive and interactive methodology in the development of theoretical classes. Demonstrative and interactive
methodology in theoretical-practical typology classes. With more active methodologies in Laboratory Practice classes,
it is intended to develop experimental skills for know-how. Through the problem-based learning methodology,
significant learning scenarios (simulation) will be developed in laboratory practice classes. Continuous evaluation =
Frequency (60%) + Practical Test (40%). Students can opt for a final exam.

Objetivos de Unidade Curricular

Know the indications and contraindications of the application of different soft tissue manipulations, learn the execution
of different massage techniques, their principles and applications; to know the objectives, effects and application of
passive and active mobilization techniques on the different tissues and joint structures; identify the morphology and
desired movement for a given muscle; grade by palpation muscle strength on a scale from 0 to 5; distinguish weak test
from strong; know how to interpret complementary diagnostic tests and relate to clinical diagnosis; define the
functional ligation, the types of ligatures and their application; know how to apply the different physical agents used in
physiotherapy, explain the physiological mechanisms of each physical agent, interpret the electroneurophysiological
responses of tissues in relation to the modality of electrotherapy used in different pathological conditions; principles
and effects of therapeutic exercises in general.
